Thank you all so much! My nerves did subside as I prepped for the op. It went just as planned with no problems. I have the Realize band, the dr chose since I couldn't make up my mind and he said they are really the same thing. Tonight I am sore and tired, but doing very well and so excited that this journey has begun. Again, thank you all for letting me know that I was not alone. It really helped me today.
