I am pretty nervous to get my surgery it is scheduled for April 11th here in Houston! I am nervous about my surgery but am excited about the new adventure!! Still running a few tests but hoping everything is good so I can get the ok to go ahead and get this done... I've been trying to get this surgery for 4 years now!! Praying that it is my time to shine!!

Welcome!

It's normal to be nervous. I know I was downright scared to death. But, the surgery itself wasn't bad at all. In fact, my recovery time was pretty fast. I had my surgery on a Friday and was back to my normal routine by Wednesday. In fact, I didn't even take painkillers after my first day home because I didn't feel I needed them.

You'll do fine. Congratulations on this big step towards health

Oh that's totally normal. You'll bounce between "yay I'm getting banded!" and "oh hell what am I doing?" over and over between now and then lol. We all go through it!

Definitely keep posting, this is a really great source for support and information

I keep having the ups and downs of being super excited to being like OMG, what am I doing, to Im gonna cry in so scared. It is just all the emotions we have to go through. I am in Houston too, having an EGD tomorrow morning and surgery on March 28. Who are you doing yours with? I am using True Tesults with Dr Reilly.

Omg me too!! My EGD is Tuesday!! Let me know how that goes for you I am nervous about that as well... my surgery is the 11th of April... I chose next month cause of work schedule.. But I have been really nervous and just sometimes scared and worried I've been trying to keep my mind off of these things but sometimes I just can't and all I can think about is my surgery! Have you started the Protein Shakes? If so which ones are you drinking I am actually having trouble finding one that I actually can drink... So far just the strawberry they have there in the office?

Be prepared, it is super cold in the preop area!

Did you already have it done? How did it go? Lol how are you feeling?

[stephanieg89 8]

Still waiting, they said once I go back it should only take about 5-8 mins. Then we go over the results and go home.
