I guess I'm havin presurgery jitters... I'm excited and very nervous right now. Will I get hungry? It's pollen season and I have severe allergies will I sneeze and cause the band to slip...Can I succeed? My surgery is Wednesday the 8th and after fighting with insurance company for 1 1/2 years and won. I suddenly have a rush of emotions and anxiety... I guess with so many past diets and failure I'm worried more tahn I should be. I would love to see 30" to 34" waist again. To be a good healthy weight for the first time in foreer... but man has anxiety started kicking in suddenly...:eek:

BREEEEEEEEEATH, all is going to be fine. I got anxouis reading your post. Find a good book to read. You will not know any of those answers till you get done with surgery. Don't get yourself all worked up over the unknown. Think on the positive side. The surgery is a sucess and all the time of trying was leading up to this. You lose the weight you want and you get to become the person you are inside. You feel alive again. You can go and do things you were embarassed to do before. People tell you how great you look. Go on that thought pattern.

Sound like you fought to hard and long with the insurance company to flake out now. Something inside you would not give up. Find that part of you again. YOU can do this.

Breathe in, breathe out, move on. Your band won't slip if you sneeze. Everybody gets excited, maybe a little scared, anticipatory .... it's natural. You will do fine!!!!!

Calm down....Let me tell you about fear. I went through it something awful. My surgery was postpond several times before I got up the nerve and went through it. Although I am 12 days out wit small issues It was not bad at all. The support from everyone was great. It help and you will do fine....trust me!
