Hello everyone, I am having my lapband tomorrow. I am somewhat really nervous and I am excited at the same time. I look forward to getting to chat and read every ones journey with there lap-band.

Thanks,

Hi Dan, it looks like you have a good surgeon and a good hospital so you'll

probably have a easy time of it. Everyone undergoing this type of an operation is nervous to some degree

You'll go into the prep room, be wheeled into the OR, everyone says hello and you wake up

in the recovery room. It's just that easy. You'll have a bit of a sore throat from the intubation

tube, but it goes away in a few days. Be sure to take PJs and slippers unless

you want to walk down the hall with your butt showing. They'll have you up and

walking a short while after you wake up. It prevents blood clots. I had no pain

and went for a 2 mile walk the day after my release. Next year you'll be a hundred

pounds lighter. Can't beat a deal like that. Good luck.
