[arittel 0]

So I was just wondering how many others were getting banded on the 13th. 1 week from today....holy crap am I getting excited! :thumbup: I have to be at the hospital by 6:30am and it's an hour drive there so I'll have an early morning. Surgery is set for 8am. Anyone else getting banded on Wednesday?

I know right......but it is so true! HaHa.... Just this past weekend someone said to me "You are actually excited to have surgery?".......UMMMM Yep, waited to dang long and went through to many insurance issues not to be EXCITED!! I thought the day that I recieved the phone call that I was approved was exciting. Nope the closer I get the more excited I am. :thumbup:

I am on the 15th too, i am getting excited but also am very nervous, i have never had any kind of surgery before.

And I am worried about how little i seem to be losing on the pre-op diet

They say not to compare how much you lose on the pre-op diet against anyone else because everyone will lose weight at a different rate. I've had 5 surgeries before so I'm not so worried about that part of it. 4 of them however were on my stomach area so I'm VERY worried about scar tissue which I have a LOT of. Even the surgeon said, yes he can do it but I may end up with a few more incisions than the average person because of adhesions below the surface. I'm also having a tubal done at the same time so I for SURE will have 2 extra incisions from the OB doing that surgery for me. I figure get it all done while I'm under. :thumbup:
