Recommended Posts

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!
