14 hours till band time

[Freddy Henin 1]

Well...Surgery is at 7:30 AM tomorrow morning....Got to be there at 5:30....I'm just having surgical anxiety...not nervous about the band AT ALL....nervous about surgery...never had surgery before IN MY LIFE...Hospital is about an hour away so I'm not looking forward to the drive there (maybe I'll sleep on the way there)

Good luck Freddy! I feel nervous the same way you do, not the band but the actual surgery. Surgery will be over before you know it! You wouldn't be human if you weren't nervous. Will be thinking of you

I feel ya! My surgery is this Friday. I couldn't be happier about having the band, but the only surgery I've ever had was when I was 5. I have a good hour or so drive to my hospital too. I plan on listening to my favorite "booty shake" music. lol.

Maybe listening to your favorite music and singing along will help ease your nerves on the way to the hospital. Just think, it will all happen so fast...just picture yourself waking up in recovery and think about how accomplished you'll feel. Good luck man!

I'm with ya! I check in tomorrow at 5:45am! I also live about an hour away, so not looking forward to the drive... I'm excited but also nervous also! I'm glad this pre-op is over though, that was rough! I know after being banded won't be easy, but at least I'll have more variety to drink, and eventually eat!!

Good Luck!!
