Ivernous 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Hi, I am Melissa. I am 30 years old and working on getting the lap band surgery. I am hoping to be eligible and scheduled for this fall. I have done a lot of research on this and read several books. I think I know what to expect. My only worry is the emotional/ psychological aspect of the surgery and post surgery. I feel that I will probably go thru a period of greiving for the loss of food. As food has been my comfort and crutch for so long. Well I would love to hear from someone.:biggrin2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JASMINE* 1 Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Melissa, Welcome! Have you searched around on this site? There is a wealth of information here. Three years later, I am still learning new things about being banded. You will probably go through a grieving period. Most people do. Anyways, just wanted to say hello and good luck on your future surgery. As long as you go into it with as much information as possible, you should be just fine.
