Sorry Angela .. not my age.. looking at someone else just prior to yours.

Candy good luck tommorow. I know you will do well. I will say a prayer for you tonight. Please stay in touch and let me know how you do... we are about the same age. This is a good way for us to start the new year as a healthier person. I am looking forward but now I am nerveous.. my grandchild who has CF is sick that always makes me nervous and sad. Hopefully her cough will go away and I can relax.

Thank you so much for that.. I know you were responding to someone else but boy have I been worried about the same.

Anyone else out there w/ me. I could use some support. I am excited but scared of the unknown of course. Would love some support for post op period.

Thank you so much.. You too.

Thank you Debbie

My doc does the SILS also.. I have to arrive at 7:30 I will go home the same day. I am told he does the fluro in the OR.. I am so ready to get it over and get started. I think my most fea is getting food stuck but I guess that is a ways off.

I am going at 9:30 what about u?

I work in the surgical center where he does some of his surgeries. Are you going to Rex?

Yea I know it is the right thing.. I am also scared I won't loose weight, but if we do what we are suppose to it would be impossible. Email me and I will let you know how I do ok? Bev

Thanks all... the countdown is on. I am getting excited.

Went to the store to stock up on something to drink post op.. scheduled for the 20th... I know I will be on clears for 1-2 weeks.. Any suggestions?

I get banded Jan 20th.. A little scared but excited at the same time.:w00t:

I am getting banded on the same day. Where are u? My doc does all his on Weds and wondering if you have the same doc. Don't be afraid of anesthesia. I am a nurse and work in Day Surgery. You will be so closely monitored during your proceedure you have more risk of driving to the faciltiy. I am afraid of the not eating part of things. It will be a big change in behavior. Good Luck.. oh yea, you won't know anything about the catheter and not all docs place them.

Thanks Mary. I am Bev. I live outside of Raleigh. My date is the 20th. I am scared but know I am doing the right thing. Maybe you can help me w/ some of my fears since you have already been thru it. What did you drink for the clear liquid diet? What about the choking thing?

I have had 2 shoulder surgeries myself.. I knonw it is the best thing for me.. but I have never had any elective surgery.. I am also scared of food getting stuck and what to eat.. I know I will get over it. I am being a baby at 54 y/o.

Oh good.. I am from NC also

Hey Pete... also from NC. I am scheduled for Jan 20.. scared to death. What area are you from?
