Getting my Band tomorrow

[hvnbnd4 0]

Wow, it is here. That is if all goes well, with my pretesting today. I cant imagine anything going wrong. I got my psyc eval yesterday. That was a close one. My shrink had gone on vacation, and yesterday was his first day back. Luckily my son had an appointment, and his plane was late, so, l took his. My only concerns is that l have called the doctors office a few times without a response back. I am self pay, and they have the money already. I kinda feel like l am not important anymore. I hope they are just busy. I am in Arkansas and will be at St Vincents for the surgery. They did tell me too, that since l am self pay, l could go home after surgery. Only insurance makes you stay overnight. I am not comfortable with that, I want to stay over. My closest hospital to home is 20 miles away. Well, gang, I will post soon. Thanks, also could use some advice on what to buy at the store for the first weeks..Geri:clap2:

CONGRATS and post when you feel like it!

Do you have all your stuff ready???? GASX strips, liquid Tylenol, broth, SF popsicles?

Geri -

Congrats! Your surgeon should tell you what to eat after your band is placed. It seems that most of our surgeons tell us different things. Is there a dietician in the surgeon's office for you to speak with?

Good luck!
