Nervous about surgery in TJ

Harpseal Al · March 30, 2006

Hi all,

:nervous I am a 40 year old man and am scheduled to get banded with Dr. Kuri on 4-4-06. I hear nothing but good things about the experiance. I live and work in the Los Angeles area and the general LA feeling about TJ is grim. I could use some stories about your experiences and what I might expect.:phanvan I'm hoping for some enlightenment.

My wife will be there with me as well, and she's not really looking forward to sitting in a hospital room for 2.5 days. How far is the hospital from anything where she can "safely" kill some time?

Thanks,

Harpseal Al

Welcome to the Board... How come ou have to be in the hospital for 2.5 days. Most of the time this surgery is out patiant. I guess your doctor is really careful.

Hello everyone. I am new to this site and just wanted to say hi. My surgery is in a couple weeks. I am not nervous at all because I am a nurse and did a lot of research about this surgery before I scheduled mine.
