You are in my prayers. Update us when you can. I understand the nerves ( I was just banded 7/15/10). Reading the posts on this site helped me feel prepared, so when I felt the gas pain, or when doctors or nurses said something, I at least had an idea of what was going on. And yes, God IS in control. My surgeon was a Christian, and I had so many people praying during surgery, I know that had an impact! Blessings to you.

It will go well, and a week from now you'll be posting about meal replacement shakes and liquids. Congratulations on getting to this point, and prayers/thoughts with you tomorrow. Check back when you can!

good luck! I was a nervous wreck too..it really is not bad! I have had 2 kids and 2 knee surgeries this was by far the easiest and less painful procedure!! Remember WALK WALK WALK even day 1! I slept on the couch for 3 nights so I could walk during the night without bothering anyone!

Congratulations on the beginning of a new "day". will say prayers for you. My surgery is in August.

I will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers!!! I am so excited for you. I look forward to following your journey.

Good Luck! I get banded on Tuesday!!

Congratulations, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You will do fine, wishing you a fast recovery.
