Nervous Nelly

[shaughnessysmom 0]

Hello to everyone. I a 29 year old soon to be 30 (like in two weeks)year old single mom of two. I have not been banded as of yet, but have my first dr.s appointment this month with my primary phycisian that will hopefully refer me and get things started. I have always been heavy. I haven't been under 200 pounds since 9th grade. I am currently at my heaviest, right at 300. Even though my situation is as dire as it is, I am still nervous about the procedure and its effectiveness, since I have read and been told that the weight can come back. In addition, I just have a fear of being cut on period. I am open and grateful for whatever help and advice anyone can give me. Please bare with me, I will post a picture soon. My hard drive was erased so I have yet to reload it with images. Thank you all very much and congratulations to those of you who have been banded on your success!................Barbara

Hi Barbara! You have already made the hardest decision, and that was to have the surgery done. I am having my surgery Weds, the 11th, and I was pretty nervous when they called me to schedule the date. I knew then that there was no backing out now. lol But I am so ready! I just keep telling myself that the next week or month is gonna be better, and Im gonna feel so much better. Good luck on your journey, its worth it!!
