Surgery on December 23rd

[Linnielady 4]

Well I finally will be banded this Thursday. Excited and a bit nervous. would love to get together with others on that same day. Hope I'm not the only one getting banded the day before Christmas Eve. I will be so glad to get on with the best part of my life. Hope to hear from others. Talk to you then. From Sunny Florida

Hey there. I can't help you with being banded Thursday, but I'm thrilled you're getting close. It'll be over before you know it. (Aren't you surprised the date is nearly here already?) Keep your head in the game, prepare before surgery so you know what to expect aferward, and try to minimize the discomfort after surgery. I'm two weeks post-op now, and I literally do feel better every single day.

Good luck!

Dave

You're going to do great! I was a little bit nervous myself but I'm 10 days post op and, frankly, felt pretty good on day 2. I didnt even need pain meds after the day after surgery. Being prepared helps a lot. Preparation and positive thinking made this surgery and recovery pretty smooth. I wish the same for you! This is a great Christmas present for yourself.

I too am getting banded tomorrow! I'm fluctuating between being really excited and being pretty nervous. What I am nervous about the most is getting weighed in tomorrow at the hospital. I lost 11lbs in the 2 weeks I was on my pre-op diet. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I am wondering if the scale at the hospital shows a 1-2 lb difference, will they refuse to do the surgery? What if the scales are just calibrated differently? Anybody have any words of advice?

How did your surgery go? I'm doing real good. Had a little set back today though. I'm pretty sure that I took in to much Fluid this morning at one time. Had a real bad belly ache and lots of gas all of a sudden. Took a gasx and went to sleep for a couple of hours. Feeling much better now and will be more careful with my liquid intake and the clock. Besides that I've been doing really well. Let me know how things are going for you.

Things are going good. Read my reply to "Want 2 lose big". Other than that episode I've been doing fine. I think I just got a little cocky but I also took a pill for the first time too this morning which my have messed me up a bit too. I sure hope that doesn't happen ever again. Thanks for asking.
