Hello all. I am getting banded on May 17th 2010. I am sooooo scared ... HELP!!
Hey Dana,
Try to relax. Everything will go just fine. I am 4.5 weeks post op and doing awesome! I'm even out walking a mile a day. I too was nervous about the surgery, but it honestly goes so fast. I had to get a patch from the doctor to put behind my ear to stop me from reacting to the meds they put you to sleep with. This helped to calm be because I knew I wouldn't throw up after surgery. The best suggestion I have is to take someone with you that will be supportive and loving. Focus on the positives of surgery. In 4 weeks I was taken off my Metformin for insullin resistance and couldn't be happier. You will be just fine. Happy thoughts and Best of luck! :w00t:
Hi all, My name is Dana. I am 28 single F from California. I am getting my LAP-BAND® surgery on May 17th 2010. I am so scared and terrified of being put to sleep... mainly. I have tried to ease my mind but nothing seems to work. I want everything to go smoothly and I have done numerous research on my surgeon and here he is a VERY good one in Los Angeles. ...however I am still terrified...... Please anyone... someone....?! help me get over this fear of being put to sleep or at least get some kind of comfort..... I suffer from Sleep apnea..
