I'm having mine Dec 30 @ 12 Noon - Realize Gastric Band. So excited!

 I understand your fears.  I had a lap band put in in 2003 after having it for 4 yrs.  I had a head on car wreck which caused me to have my band removed.  I'm just now having my revison surgery on Dec 30 RNY at St Lukes Hospital Dr Juarez is my DR.  I'm not stressed.  Just had  a hard time getting my protein shakes down.  I'm mean trying to find a Dr who would do my revison for about 6 months.  & thats after seeing 3 Dr.s first.  Wanted to make sure I found the right dr. for me.  Now my fear's are gone.  I cant wait for surgery.  I pray you can over come your stress & family fears for you are the person going throught this for yourself to be healthly & be here for them in the yrs to come.  May you find peace in your decision.  Hugs Pammy

 I'm scheduled for Dec 30.  Had a Lapband removed in Sept 07.  & now I'm have RNY in Phoenix with Dr. Juarez.

I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and have many fears in me but I am so excited at the same time.  I don't know your situation but I have only told one person which is my oldest daughter that I was having this surgery.  I did not want to hear all the naysayers.  Because they are not there with me when I am told that I am leading to an earlier grave, I felt they would not understand my decision.  My daughter is very supportive and that is all that matters to me.  I hope that you find inner peace with all the stress going on in your life right now and remember that I am here if you ever need to hear something positive.  I don't know how old you are but I am 49 and wish I had done this many years ago.  All my best to you!

 Thank you!! I will pray for you too...
