Banded Tomorrow!

[Mom2many 33]

I will begin my journey tomorrow. Am excited, nervous and hopeful. My doctor didn't put me on a pre-surgery diet so I've had the "last supper" thing going for a month. I'm nervous about being able to stop. I will keep you all updated and look forward to getting to know you!

Pre-surgery weight=250 pounds.

I wish you the best of luck.. Ask questions of your Dr and his staff..

I'm going in tomorrow too and no pre-op diet for me either. What area do you live? I'm in Phoenix. Good luck!

Good week for surgeries!! I go in tomorrow morning at 6:00! Best to all of you...I feel like the kid on the Disney World commercial "I'm too excited to sleep"

brandi,

I see you have Dr Simpson. I too was banded with plication on 3/6. Dr Simpson is great and so is the staff at Specialty Hospital. You'll do fine. They will wheel you to the OR and give you a nice cocktail. I didn't have any pain. Only discomfort from the gas they inflate you with. May be a little nausea but soon goes away. They will get you up and walking in about 45 mins post op which really helps with the gas. Other than that, I had a great experience with it. I had my 2 week visit and already lost 12 pounds.

Good Luck,

John

Good luck with your surgery.

Take it one day at a time.

I recommend you take a before picture and your measurements.
