Band Day Tomorrow

[use-to-be-cute 0]

I am new to the board and getting banded tomorrow morning. I am at the end of day two of the Clear liquids and all clean from the inside out. I even cleaned my naval! Lol. I am feeling pretty good, just nervous.

I am wondering if I am doing the right thing? Every once in a while, I have doubts and wonder if everything will go smooth. Reading the possible things that can go wrong scares me. I am hoping that I can fall asleep quickly tonight.

You will do great. You chose this process with a clear head months ago. Second thoughts are natural, you are taking a huge step and changing the way you eat for the rest of your life. Try to relax. You will be a bit nervous tomorrow too.

Remember that your future is the reason you are doing this. Get as much sleep as you can, chances are, you won't sleep again until after the surgery. (I'm not counting the drug induced type - lol)

Let us know how you are doing when you are up to logging on. I know you'll do great!

Best wishes to you.

Please find comfort in knowing that a few months from now you'll be alot lighter and you'll be wishing you'd done it sooner!

Hi, This is my first post on here, it's all a bit daunting isnt it? Best of luck for tomorrow, I'm sure it won't be long and you know that yes you did make the right decision. I am due this Monday for my LAP-BAND® and have been that busy with everything else this week, so the weekend is here and all of a sudden it's hit me with a thud..........like you.....second thoughts. But know in my heart it's the only way to beat "this struggle" I've had for years.

I must admit though I am on here to inload my guilt, I had a handful of hot chips yesterday, yes am on opt-slim, but I was like an animal, has anyone else out there "slipped" on pre-op diets?

Anyway on the straight and narrow, best wishes to you tomorrow, can't wait to hear how it all went. Cheers.

Thank you everyone. I am back and every thing went well. I am feeling pretty sore and bloated but the pain med and Gas X really helps. The past two days, my days consisted of sleeping and walking. Lol.

Can anyone tell me how long will the gas pain last?

Hopefully your gas will have passed by now... keep moving and you'll be great!

Congratulations!
