Surgery date is 6/1/10!!!!!

[sparklette 0]

I am so EXCITED but ANXIOUS about being banded on 6/1. My mind is racing and I keep having second thoughts. I know this is what I WILL do but the anxiety won't go away!!!! I'm paying myself and thoughts keep torturing me of what all I can do with $10k!!! I'm trying to keep myself busy, busy, busy so I won't think about things too much. My doctor told me because my BMI is 32, he would only do 1 incision on me. Did anyone else only have 1 incision?

My doctor also gave me a 3day pre-op diet......so far, so good---but I do want to chew on something and that something is not ice!!!!

Any suggestions? Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I WILL do this, I'm just anxious!!!:cursing::cool:

Something would be wrong if you weren't anxious. I will pray for you! It has been almost 2 years for me. I was thinking right up until surgery that I had lost my mind but I have not regretted it.

Well, I'm banded--went in today 6/1 and all went well. Of course I'm sore but I'm moving around. Feels like I need to burp---is that normal?

Gonna walk a bit more.....til next time. Take care!!!

Yea! Sparklette, Congratulations. The pain goes away fast and you'll soon feel back to normal - except - you're scale will go down, down, down. Ya who!
