Desperate.

My surgery is tuesday. I am by myself. i had help that was coming for my original surgery but it got moved up and now im alone again. I have a serious question.

Im seriously looking at using a taxi service to get back and forth from the hospital. I think i have everything set up here once i get back.

HAS ANYONE ELSE DONE THIS ALONE?

did it go okay?

Please please respond. Im nervous, a bit scared.

update:

hey!

i was banded on the 13, went very smooth. i had used the same cab for my tests and got to know the cabbie a bit. I was able to use him, he waited for me in the waiting room as required, took me by the drug store drive through to get my perscripts and even helped me up the stairs and insde the cottage im staying at. I had done much to prepare ahead of time and i gotta tell you, it went really smooth. I paid highly for the privlidge. 480 dollars. I figure i would have probably spent that in groceries or something.

still.

if you are alone, and wind up having to go this route, you will be okay. It felt a bit lonely for a day or two and i had a full out pity party the third day out but no horrible things happened.

Glad to hear that things went well for you.

Hi all. I will be banded on the 31st so this coming Thursday. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I would love to join for one of the meetings however I think I should wait until after my surger and start to feeling better. Hope to join this group at some time!!

Pokerprincess --

Congrats on your upcoming banding.

I am no longer in charge of the group meetings as I have recently moved out of state with my job. However, I know the person that is now scheduling the meetings. When you or anyone else would like to attend, please private message me and I will give you the email to the person in charge. It's a great group and would love for all of you to attend.

Has anyone heard from Stephanie?? I have emailed her twice and not heard back. Does anyone know the details for the next meeting? I assume I missed the July one already or they never had one?? Any info is greatly appreciated.
