Up All Night???



Recommended Posts

Hi Friends!

I'm being banded at 6:30 AM tomorrow (Thursday), and I'm so nervous I know I won't sleep tonight!! I didn't have to start the liquid diet until today, and I have a horrible headache and I'm STARVED! Will I feel like this for the next 3 weeks?? How do you handle it???

I will defer on the how to cope with it to the bandsters proper.

Good luck tomorrow and try and relax as much as you can. I was a nervous wreck for my wife when she had it done but it will pass.

Actually, for the first week or so after surgery, you will probably find that you really don't have much of an appetite at all. At least, I didn't. The headache will pass.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how you do.

Nope wasn't hungry for at least a week...then a little clear broth was WONDERFUL!!!

This is an exciting time.....your normal!!!! It's also normal to be nervous....I'll pray for you!!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
