Looking for a buddy

[Missy East 3]

Hey there! I'm going to be banded on July 22nd and would LOVE to have a buddy through this process. Things like this are always hard for me, hence, resorting to surgery. If you'd like to share the experience, let's get together!!

I'm getting banded on July 19th. I'm both exited and terrified at once!

Congrats, I was banded on 6/6 and really excited that I did. I too was nervous, even scared, but all went well. I went home the same day and was thrilled to be home in my own comforts. I was really sore in my port area, but it was tollerable. I slept in my recliner for a little bit, but what helped me was walking it out and sleeping with a electric blanket on low over my stomach. If I can help in any way just ask. I am a newbie but sometimes questions are for those who just had the surgery.

That's great, Congratulations!! Right now, I'm just SUPER excited. The terrified part will probably happen at 6am on my surgery day as I get prepped! lol I had knee surgery in 2009 and I know they have something to calm me down, so I will not be afraid to ask for it, you shouldn't either. It'll make ya giggle!!

Congratulations!! How is your weight loss coming? Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I have my electric blanket handy. I guess I can thank my ex-boyfriend for leaving it when I gave him the boot! lol Do you work? If so, how long were you out of commission? I have ready it can be anywhere from 3 - 10 days. My surgery is on a Friday so I just let my work know that I may be back to the office the following Thursday, sooner if it's tolerable.
