Hello all, First, thanks to everyone who has wished me well on my surgery...it means a lot to me. Next, 24 hours from now, I will be on my way to the hospital for my surgery which is scheduled at 7:45am. I cannot believe it. I have waited along time for this and now it is finally here. I admit to being very scared. I have never had surgery before and am concerned about the pain afterward. It's the unknown that is freaking me out right now. My emotions have been running wild this week. I cry because I'm scared, because I think - what if I don't wake up - never see my family again - didn't take the chance to tell them how much I love them...etc. But when I do try to talk to them about that I get to choked up to talk. I know this surgery is a good thing I am doing for myself and I know it is normal to be afraid. I think about in a week from now I will be home, the pain won't be as intense and I will be happy I went through with the surgery and made it through the tuff times. OK...enough ramblings...thanks to all of you for your support. I will post my experience when I am POST-OP...keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Julie

Julie, I am having a band removed by surgury on 8/11/01 your surgury date.I have been a 6 year weight loss success story i went from 350 in 95, to 150 in 18 months. You do have the right to know it is imparitive that you take vitamins and see a nutritionist due to B-12 insufficiency that leads to aplastic anemia which is fatal.Also you need to follow your eletrolytes ie pottasuim,salt, protien.NIH synposium requires this for all patients.
