Getting banded in 3 days

3 days to my date with the surgeon.  Having a little anxiety..... anyone else sharing these feelings? 

Hey, cool!    Me, too!  I am having lap band on the 24th just like you, and am feeling this way, too.  I believe it's just the whole changing of the lifestyle thing.  I mean, the liquid diet has taught me that I'll have to use MEGA restraint to do this successfully, but all in all, I think everything will be all right.  Please keep in touch with me and let me know how things go for you.  I'd love to know!  Hey!  We'll share an anniversary! ha!

Reading the post-op expectations has helped me, and I just have to think positive that the surgeon has done this a million times, and knows very well what he is doing, and just have faith that my care will be awesome enough to pull me through this without complication.  I have a bleeding disorder similar to hemophelia, and it frightens me, but, hey, I've had two wonderful children (17 years apart... don't ask...), and I should be all right.  TRY to think positive!

Look forward to hearing back from you!

My date is also the 24th (RNY). I have a little bit of anxiety but mostly I just want to get it over with! Good luck. I'll be thinking of you.

Best wishes to the both of you.  Unfortunately, we won't be sharing an anniversary date :(  I was rescheduled to the 29th.  I'm looking forward to hearing how the both of you are doing.
