Today is May 20, 2009 at 11:27 PM. In a few mins it will be May 21, 2009 & I will be banded in about 7 hours. I am so Nervous. God Bless me and may the Lord be with me. I go in at 6:30 AM and I am so Nervous, Excited and Scared!

I pray to God my experience is a good one. I want to lose weight and start a FAMILY!

God Please Bless Me and keep me forever safe.

Good luck! I was banded three weeks ago. It really wasn't that bad. I teach First Grade and I was back to work in 6 days. The two days before that, I was cleaning my house! The worse part was I was soooooo hungry and by the third day I did not want another liquid!!! My headache from hunger was worse than the surgery and it went away in 1 day. Make sure to have clear liquid protein. I drank Isopure. Good luck.

dont be afraid everything is going to be ok the only thing you should be afraid of is changing your mind that would be a big mistake i was banded on 02/26/09 i arrived at the center at 730am my surgery wasnt scheduled until 930am so i had all that time to think i was sooooooo scared and almost changed my mind but then i thought about how sick i was of seeing myself and feeling tired all the time not doing anything but staying home i didnt want to be seen in public and i stuck it out i did it! the worst thing for me was being put to sleep but now that i know how it is i could do it again dr will give you something for your nerves to relax you and it makes you forget you are scared then put a mask over your face ask you to breath and thats it 1/2 hour later you'll wake up feel a little discomfort when you breath but they can give you medicine for that walk you around and thats it the rest is up to you trust me it sounds worst than what it is i am so glad i did it let me know if there is something else i can help you with good luck dont worry really!!!!

I was amazed how "easy" the surgery was. Follow all your Dr's post-op directions, relax for a few days.... but remember to walk around often, and drink fluids. Good Luck on your journey!!!!

I just read your post, and by now, you are DONE! Please drop us a line and let us know how you are doing. I'm sure God was with you.
