Banding Tomorrow

[mauraclegg 29]

Checking into the hospital for my banding at 6:00 am tomorrow morning.. I am excited and a bit nervous!! More nervous about my husband finding a way to come and get me when I'm ready to come home than about the surgery itself.

I have already lost 24 lbs because of diet and excercise - looking forward to abt a 120 more.....

Good Luck tomorrow. I get banded on Thursday. I am feeling the same way so excited, but nervous!!

Good luck to you! I was just banded on June 1 and I'm doing pretty good! Just take care of yourself and everything will be just fine!

Yay for you!! Good luck with the surgery! It's a total life-changer!!! Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Thank you both - I will keep you up to date. I joined the site a few weeks back, but kinds of laying low until my surgery.

I am 24 lbs lightwer than I was in April which puts me at 238 (starteed at 262). My goal is 140, which the PA says may be too low, but we will just have to see how I look/feel.

getting ready to go take my anti-bacterial shower (as ordered by the hospital -1 tonight and 1 before hospital in the am)

See you all tomorrow:thumbup:

Good luck! I was banded on May 27. I'm feeling pretty good now! Just a couple of uncomfortable days . . . every day gets better and better.

Pillow for the ride home? Please can you explain this. Don't mean to be so clueless, but just don't understand.

Pillow to 'hug' in case you have pain. Hugging the pillow helps with the pain from surgery. In case you have to cough? Or in case the ride home is not a smooth ride?
