Same here have to be there at 6:45 am. Surgery at 8:30. Not nervous yet just worried about the IV of all things, crappy veins but with all the liquids the last 2 days they should be easy to get to.....or so I am telling myself.

Good luck. I just had my surgery this morning too. Was there at 0730 and home by 3pm. They found and repaired a hiatal hernia. So far so good. Very little pain. My surgeon does the single incision through the belly button. We are bandy buddies!

Don't forget me! I have to be there at 6:15 in the morning! And its 11:30 at night right now. I'm nervous but trying not to think about it too much...no going back now!!!! My biggest fear still at this point is the "what if I don't lose weight?".... I guess tomorrow will be the beginning to the answer of that question...I read and read about everything but I guess you don't really know till you are there! Best of luck fellow buddies! Hope to be talking to you tomorrow! Much love to you!

I made it. I am home and eating/drinking some chicken broth. I had a couple of complications-not with the band though. I had a hernia and that was repaired. The also I had a hole in my diaphram. Mt DR says that was probably cause bt a auto wrech i had last year. I have to return to have that repaired.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
