Surgery Tomorrow Am

So I get banded tomorrow. Lets see how this goes. I'm a little nervous and having a hard time falling asleep but looking forward to a big change.

Congratulations... just hours away from being in "Bandland"... this is a great site for information.

Take it one day at a time and ask lots of questions.

I recommend you take a before picture, your measurements and keep a food journal.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Nothing to it, you have the hardest part beat, those stupid Protein Drinks The worst for me was the IV. I went in at 9am and was home at 1 pm. By 2 iwas walking in my yard and by 6 was in my garden LOL. Next day was a lil sore but never took pain meds. Good luck to you !!!

Good luck! I am sure you will do great.

I am a week and half out and i feel great. In addition to chapstick dont forget Gas X strips and a heating pad. I also had liquid tylenol on hand. One thing that really helped me was chicken broth. I went to Panera bread and got it and then just strained thru the broth. It was tastier and had some flavor.

Thank you everyone for your kind words! Meg's good luck with everything. I am still very sore but getting around ok. Totally not hungry at all which is good. I was worried I might be. Laying down is the worst! But the pain is less day after day so I am happy for that.
