So Tomorrow morning is my BIG day and I am starting to get really nervous. I just got off the phone with the anesthesiologist and now its sinking in. I will need to be at the hospital by 8am and then I will be officially banded. Im happy and unsure all at the same time.

:confused:

I don't know if I have posted on this forum or not, but I will be banded on August 25, 2010 (Wednesday) I am so freaking out! Is there anyone else out there that lives in the Roxboro/Durham NC area? I am seriously needing a buddy to get through all of this! I don't know what I would do without my internet friends and support groups! I wish everyone a speedy recovery and keep the posts coming!

mbwalker,

I freaked out too. It's scary to have any procedure done...what will happen? Will something completely weird or out of the ordinary happen?

However, as I read this thread I would continually see people go in for the surgery and come right back out...sometimes posting on the same day!

I, too, have done the same...it has now almost been two weeks. My incisions are healing over nicely and I have no pain other than an occasional nudge from my portsite to remind me it's there. I'm even painting my bedroom (no small feat!).

Try not to fester too much on the surgery part but on all the other great things...losing weight, feeling healthier, stabilizing your weight for the first time in your life. These are all great things and I am already experiencing them.

Look at it as just a few more days and you, too, get to start this phase of your life!

Hi everybody,

Finally I can rest for the next two weeks and enjoy the lovely weather. Had a bad tooth ache last week had to seek dental emergency was in so much pain but the dentist sorted it out the same day as I was unable to eat my band got tighter and yes I lost an extra 4llbs and I am still feeling tight I had to cancel my fill !! I am at the gym 4 times a week and can feel my body toning, haven’t got any loose skin or saggy breast the exercise are really helping to tone up! Well I have now lost a total of 38llbs since my surgery last August I hope to lose at least another 20llbs by this August. It is a slow journey but I am going in the right direction.

Good luck everyone .
