kandikay76 21 Posted September 6, 2012 I'm to be at the hospital at 9:15 in the morning for my band! I have been cool as a cucumber for the last 7 months til tonight, now I'm a little nervous. Wishing anybody getting their band tomorrow smooth sailing! I would love to keep in touch with anybody willing to chat about how things are going. Good luck! 3 A New New Dawn, Duhs9919 and Bubie1916 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kandikay76 21 Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks everyone! All went well and I had a hernia repaired too. I did outpatient so I am at home now with the heating pad waiting to be able to take my next dose of pain meds. I did a little walking tonight, hope to get much more walking in tomorrow.

I don't have has pain but my port site is so tender I think a heating pad would feel nice. Hows It working for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
secondchancesally 43 Posted September 7, 2012 Wow you did it! Until I actually GET my surgery I still feel its entirely possible I might run for the border at the last minute. Please share all, the good the bad and the ugly. Hang in there. 1 kandikay76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have has pain but my port site is so tender I think a heating pad would feel nice. Hows It working for you? I think it might be a little of both. It does feel soothing though! Im glad I have it. I'm thinking if not for the hernia repair i probably wouldn't be have much discomfort at all. 1 KristinsMommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandikay76 21 Posted September 7, 2012 Wow you did it! Until I actually GET my surgery I still feel its entirely possible I might run for the border at the last minute. Please share all, the good the bad and the ugly. Hang in there. I was thinking about backing out too at the last minute, but I think a lot of people have "stage fright". Over all it the surgery itself hasn't been a bad experience so far. I was outpatient and just took some chapstick, (chapstick a very good suggestion i picked up on here from others) and a pillow to hold on my stomach on the way home. I've been staying on top of my pain meds and had the heating pad on pretty much since I got home. If it wasn't for the hernia repair I don't think I would be having much discomfort at all. It was not as bad as I thought it was, and I don't remember a thing once I got in the OR. You will do great! 2 A New New Dawn and KristinsMommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
