Surgery Tomorrow 8/12, Feeling Like It's Christmas Eve!

[Deweydoer 111]

Well, I've packed my little bag, I have stocked the fridge with what I'll be needing, done the laundry, cleaned the house and I'm getting ready to chill out for the evening. I thought I would be more nervous or even a little panicked, but I'm very calm and really looking forward to tomorrow. I have appreciated all of the hits and tips on this message board pre-op, and I'm excited to tune in for post-op. The first 51 years have been great, except for this weight issue, I know the 2nd half of my life will be even better being in a healthier state.

Yay! So happy for you. I get banded on september 10 and I feel the same way like a kid before Christmas eve! I would like to subscribe to your threads and keep up with your weight loss journey

good luck to you all and prayers going your way! What a wonderful journey you are about to embark on. I was banded 6-13-12 and wouldn't change a thing. Although my weight loss has been slow and steady I'm so happy, I'm down 72 lbs as of today. I'm so very excited for your both, beyond words! First few days for me were painful and I got extremely constipated but other than that, easy peasy. Walk walk walk and sip sip sip when you get home.

How did the surgery go? and Congrats!!

[stephwellman 131]

Went great no complications as of yet (knock on wood)... I'm not in a lot of pain I've only take 2 doses of pain meds and I've been walking but the gas is being stubborn. They won't let me take any gas x yet they've only allowed me to have ice Water which quenches all of my needs. I have dry mouth due to the morphine they gave but other than that I'm banded and I'm still alive so life is pretty damn good!

So happy for you! I cant wait for mine
