I too am a bit anxious for my long anticipated surgery. My banding is scheduled for December 11th. Part of me is afraid I'll 'fail' in this journey. Part of me does fear the unknown, the what-do-I-do-without-food-for-comfort. And part of me wonders what will happen with my social life. So many of my social interactions revolve around food - going out to lunch or dinner or a dinner party or a happy hour.

Thanks to everyone for all of your posts. Your success stories are truly encouraging and uplifting. And it is comforting to know so many others are going through the same range of emotions I'm facing.

Best wishes to everyone on this journey.
