Dear FullofGrace,
I am really scared too, especially since my family doesnt fully support this decision (mostly b/c they are scared)...interesting...I have generalized anxiety disorder and I am trying my best to be calm about this, since my surgery date is still about a month away I am not freaking out too bad...yet. I would definitely talk to a doc. about getting meds. if you feel it would help!

Yeah my family isn't on board either...my husband asked friends' of ours this weekend if they'd help take care of our son if I passed away right in front of me! YIKES! I've read a lot of research this operation seems safe and effective .... I'm gonna try to go through with it with confidence and courage...my doc send me an email today (Dr. Curry in Cincinnati) he said find a copy of the song "Don't Worry Be Happy" play it and relax...how cool is that I think I'll read it ever time I get scared!

Welcome Veggestyle... I think we all are nervous and excited at the same time, but soon we will be "old-hands" at this Band-stuff.... I can't wait for that day! Keep posting and remember we are all in this together!

Hi all,
i am new here and I am getting banded on November 10 by Dr. Javier De La Garza in Monterrey, MX. I am so excited. I weigh 222 lbs now and I want to be 140 lbs. This is my last chance at living.

Any advise, thoughts or words of wisdom are always appreciated. | You're not alone! I'm scared too - surgery is not without risk. But I know the risks of being morbidly obese are even greater.:phanvan

| Pre-Op diet?
Has anyone started their pre-op diet yet? My doctor requires a liquid diet 2 weeks prior and then 2 weeks post surgery. My surgery is Nov 2nd and i started liquids yesterday. I've done it before but it's so hard the first couple of days!!~!
