Grumpy nyc and Anne - Thanks for the info re: the post-lap band and hernia repair experience. I get the feeling that most of my post-op pain will derive from the hernia repair, and not the lapband.

The closer I get to the surgery --I'm having it Wednesday morning --the more nervous I'm getting. I can't sleep! I also haven't been as diligent as I should have during the 2-week pre-op period. Will this be a problem? Thanks. -ginatae55

ginatae55,

please don't be so worried. I assure you that this surgery is not nearly as bad as you are dreading. as far as the pre-op, I wasn't as diligent as I should have been either and everything worked out just fine. stop beating yourself up and just take one day at a time. I can already tell that it will definitely all be worth it in the end. remember why we are doing this in the first place.......God has shown us a tool to help us be the people that we deserve to be. Best of luck to you.........it will all be fine.

Grumpy,

Your answer did in fact help me. I am going to go on in tomorrow and if I think it is too much, I will come home and work from here. I go see the doctor on Wednesday so then I can get more guidance. I just think that I need to be extrememly careful so I won't pull anything loose.

Thanks for your help and best of luck to you too.
