surgery scheduled

[gringa079 1]

Well its about that time.....surgery time! I'm more nervous than anything a little scared. This is my first surgery ever! I'm trying to get everything ready and still feel a little overwhelmed. I think its normal to feel all these emotions this is a life changing experience.

My surgery date is June 3 the day that my life will change and i become the healthy person i've always strive to be. I know its not going to be easy but i really believe i can do this.

Any last minute tips that anyone can give me to help me will be greatly appreciated

be healthy and happy peeps <3

My surgery is set for May 31st! Good luck with yours! Do you have to do a pre-op diet? Mine starts on Tuesday.

yes i have to do 2 Protein Shakes and a 300 calorie meal ... its 800 calorie total all day. Its been tough i'm on day 3 and i hope that i don't get a headache again. But i'm trying to stay positive and know that in the long run it will all be worth it! Good luck to you as well are you getting nervous?

im hopefully getting banded within the next month. Found out insurance approved on Mon. supposed to call back tomorrow for surgery date. when i talked to receptionist the end of March she said they are scheduling within about 2 weeks. I hope so the sooner the better. I am also nervous and have not had a surgery since i was 4 to get my tonsils out. good luck everyone..

isn't it so nerve racking when you don't know what to expect pain wise after the surgery. I know everyone keeps saying the gas pains are the worst but i just don't even know what to expect ....Good luck with getting it scheduled hopefully it will be sooner than later when i started it seemed like forever and now that its here its flying by....stay strong!

Well good luck!!! Mine isn't until June 21st as we have a vacation scheduled before that. I wish mine was tomorrow as I can't wait but also am nervous. I figure that at least if my body doesn't like it it is reversible.

I was not told yet of a preop diet. What does that consist of???

Hello everyone.. I'm fairly new here, I've been contemplating the band for 2 year, I went to the seminar 2 weeks ago, and they checked my insurance.. and i'm 90% covered my next step is my 1st appointment with my Dr. and the psychiatrist net week.. I' excited. Can anyone tell me how long does it usually take from the 1st appointment to the time they give you your surgery date?
