I'am getting Nervous

[roy4345 0]

I go in for my pre-op testing tomorrow morning and my doctor has all the tests scheduled for one day. Thats nice to be able to get it all done at one time but I am getting a little scared since I know that in a month or so I will be getting my Lap-Band. I am looking forward to it but still I am a little scared. I have read everything I can on this site and know just what to expect, but when I read of people that it did not work for it really bothers me. I want this to work for me so bad. I will make every effort to make it a success, but after trying so many other things I still get depressed. I hope I can make my wife proud of me in a year or so and hopefully live just a little bit longer. I am only 335 lbs now so I think I have a good chance to succeed. Just being able to see myself pee again would be really nice.

Oh wow, I never thought about just being able to see you yourself pee again! That's a good one! For me, it's crossing my legs without one falling off the other. Sitting in church with my husband and NOT wondering if anyone noticed that I wore the same outfit last week because I am running out of clothes and don't want to buy more.

I have had all the tests. You'll do fine. Some of them are time consuming, but if you get them done all in one day, that's fantastic!

Best of luck!

Hi Roy,

Congratulations on being a bandster! I think we all get a little nervous as the time draws near for surgery. I would have been the first one to tell you that "no matter what I do I can't loose weight". Well, I hadn't done this and now what I have I am losing weight. I went to Mexico by myself and it was a breeze. Get up and walk asap after surgery, I think it makes a huge difference. Your wife will be so proud of you and you will feel a huge difference as the lbs start coming off. I am only about 20 lbs down and I feel like a new woman. Just to go though the closet and wear things I couldn't wear last year (or the year before) is a huge reward. You are to be acknowledged for taking the steps to make this happen. Good job!

If you weren't nervous then I would be. Good luck. Funny you mention the whole peeing thing. I said the same to my girlfriend and brother. LOL

Thanks for responding Kathy, It sure is nice to hear from someone that has a sense of humor, it puts a smile on my face. I got a kick out of you trying to cross your legs. That was so funny I almost wet my depends LOL. Roy

Thanks Sally, I got all my Pre-Op testing don this morning. Started at 7:30 and was totally done by 9:30am that must be a record from what I was hearing. I went to GNC and after talking to the Dietician about the Isopure Protein Powder I got hooked up with GNC brand and it was less than half the price and the same thing. So I will start on the Pre-op Diet tomorrow even though I wont go in for surgery till next month. Have a great day, Roy
