Hi Jeremiahsmommy
I had my lap band surgery yesterday and it went very well. The tubes that you are worried about were put in and taked out while I was asleep. I have a little bit of a sore throat but not bad. My surgery was at 5:30am and I went home at 9:30 pm. I had a c-section aswell. If you have had a C-Section and Apecendectomy this will be a piece of cake for you. Don't worry and think positive and it will go fine. Today is the day after and it just feels like I worked out my stomach muscles too hard. Hardly any pain. Good luck
