I was like that too, Lisa. I told my husband over the weekend that I was more worried because I WASN'T worried, but the day before the surgery I officially freaked out. My husband was laughing at me. The surgery goes so fast though that it will be over before you know it. I'm happy for you--for all of us!! It's definitely an exciting time!! Hang in there--I'll be thinking about you!!

Thanks, Sassie--I have no idea what I'm doing on here. So I might have messed up on my post. I appreciate your reply. I'm so happy that I haven't had any problems so far!! And I'm glad your experience was a good one also. Sounds like you are doing GREAT!! Can't wait to start seeing more results myself. I lost 12 lbs just on the liquid diet for the 7 days prior to surgery. I figure that's a pretty good start!! Thanks again--and good luck to everyone else!! Bobbi

Just banded yesterday (11-13)--Please add me to your list. I'm new here but I so appreciate everyone else's posts!! It has helped me through this tremendously!! Bobbi

I was just banded yesterday (11-13). I've never posted before but I'm been here lurking and reading about the surgery for a couple of months now. My surgery was scheduled at 9:30 yesterday morning and I was home about 2:30. (I wanted to come home sooner but my oxygen level was a little low so they kept me for a little while.) Everything went fine--just kinda sore today but no gas or nausea so far and I'm just taking extra-strength tylenol for the pain. My Dr. wrote me a prescription for something stronger but I haven't had it filled. He gave me something for the nausea too but so far I haven't had to use it--they put a Sea-sick patch behind my right ear and I took that off early this morning. So far so good--I'm drinking coffee right now. I'm not hungry at all. The Bariatric office at the hospital called to check on me a little whie ago. My Dr. together with another Dr. from the practice did 9 bands yesterday here in Louisville, KY. They have 2 surgeons for every patient. I can't say enough about their office. They are absolutely wonderful!! Congrats to everyone having surgery this month. Your posts have sure helped me stay calm!! I'm anxious to hear everyone else's experiences too!! Bobbi )
