Any February 2013 Bandsters?

[TheNewMeTrini 26]

All went well here... Went in at 6 am and was home by 4. The surgery went great and I'm feeling ok.. Super nausea though. Worse than the gas pains. The gas pains feel like muscle aches the day after you got done working out really hardy the nausea makes me feel awful. Any tips from the pros how long thus lasts?? Also, best of luck to all the future bandsters!!

Kristen, I was told by my doctor that they would call in a prescription for anti-nausea meds as it might rip the internal stitches if I threw up. You might ask for a few days worth.

Just got done with my pre-surgery meeting. 10am on Feb 21st I go under the knife !!! Surgeon gave me a script for liquid hydrocodone & some anti-nausea suppository.

BTW - two weeks on Adkins pre-surgery diet and I have lost 12lbs.

2 more days..... And I'm getting really nervous. Very happy that I've lost 20 lbs on my pre op liquids. Surgery Thursday at 9. I can handle pain but am so afraid of being nauseas all day.

Congrats on your date. I am scheduled on the 27th my pre op appt is on the 14th. I started my liquids today and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I was surprised the Protein Shakes weren't as bad as I anticipated. My brain thinks I'm hungry but I'm really not. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time and the only emotion I am feeling at this point is excitement that its finally going to happen. Good luck and keep us posted. I could sure use a surgery buddy. Maybe we can help each other since our dates are back to back. Let the count down begin!!!

Had a big meltdown last night! I am SO SCARED of the pre-op stuff. I have a fear of needles ... which I know I will need to overcome very quickly.

This is so normal, even my surgeon said "honey if u weren't scared, I would be worried about you" I had my surgery on Monday, I have been going through the process of getting this done for what seems like forever and having the day and it getting closer and closer I began to panic big time, so many worries about surgery, the pain, the healing process and then the journey afterwards! Just know everyone is different in all those aspects too, just have a good support system wether it be your family, significant other or best friend, even through here to help u get through the rough Patches. I had to drive an hr and a half at 4 in the morning for surgery day, wanted to jump out the car most of the way and cry the other, but I got through it and so will you! Have faith in yourself and remember this is for you!
