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. :D Good luck!

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.

are you using the heating

pad for gas pain or to soothe your belly? I

forgot mine at home. Wishing I didn't. 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.

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!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
