Tomorrow is my surgery, nervous but excited too

[Kerimhann 1]

Hi Everyone,

I am having my lapband surgery finally tomorrow at 3 PM in Manchester, UK. Although I do not live here in UK, I wanted to do it here because I can have it done by Prof. Favretti who is the best surgeon in this field and I can have the SILS (single incision). Because I am a self payer, I came here. Now, I am in my hotel excited, nervous and a bit scared.

Today I met with Healthier Weight people and Dr. Ashton, great people very kind and I am more in easy. Dr. even told me to have a nice dinner. I was scared that I was not religiously following the diet and my liver will be very large. They were not worried. I am scared from narcoses, like many thoughts come to my mind that I can sleep and never wake up again or wake up during the surgery. I know its just what I create in my mind but I am feeling as such.

I am 125 kilos now and I aim to be 85. Pray for me..

Best of luck..you will do great and be so happy you did it!! it is the best decision I have ever made!

You will be fine.....people have this done everyday and the rates are really low for things like that, almost nonexistent. I am having surgery on Friday so I feel ya. I am worried too but the funny thing is I am most worried about that saggy skin that could result from the surgery.

Good luck, you will be so much happier in the end. BTW, I am jealous that you get one incision...wow!

thanks everyone for your support. My surgery went well. Yet they had to do 3 more small incisions as my liver was way too tick. stick all from my belly button so no large scar. I will do another post with my experience in details.

Thanks again

I'm having my surgery this afternoon. I'm not sure how I'll make it to 2:30 without Water. But I'm getting very excited. Nervous, too, of course.

I know what you feel, I felt the same. But here I am, 2nd day after surgery. I am feeling great (except gas and burping so be prepared)
