MOOD SWINGS!!

Please tell me that I am not alone! I have 39 days before I go to get my lapband and I am about to loose my mind! I am starting to feel like this may not be for me And, then the next minute I can imagine myself living and looking so much healthier. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and how in the world did you manage? I feel that it is too early for this to kick in! What will I do the week of surgery?

It is normal to have second thoughts! It is normal to be scared, happy and anxious al at the same time! You have got a loooong way to go, don't make yourself crazy!!! For me the decison was the hardest thing after that I tried to concentrate on the after and think about the good things I was expecting after surgery. It really will be the beginning of a new life, a better life if you do it right.It is like having a second chance, I felt like I screwed up the first time, for whatever reasons , and I had a second chance to have a healthier, more active and more beautiful life! If when you are feeling normal ( whatever that may be for you) you know in your heart that you made the right choice for surgery, surgeon, etc. then fight the bad moments. It is all in your mind, think the happy thoughts and keep those negative ones out!! Sandy lap band Dr Aceves 2004
