It's Finally Here!

I get banded tomorrow! Yippeee!! :clap2:I'm soooooo ready for this. I'm already feeling better having spent the past 2 weeks taking in a lot of Protein and totally cut out the potatoes, Pasta and breads (and I love them so much). Oh well -- time for a new way of eating.

I'm scheduled for noon. So by tomorrow night at this time, I guess I'll be recovering from all the gas pains ( or trying to)! :faint:

You all are great and such support. I'll be back on as soon as I can!!!! Have a great evening all!

At first it was hard for me the gas pain got the best of me, but keep focused and know that is gets eaiser each day, when you come home try to walk it helps pass the gas. I wish you the best of luck , let us know how you are !

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm passing the time right now by learning more on here. I'm not real crazy about not being able to have my coffee now, but I guess I'll have some when I get home this afternoon (maybe?).

Yep -- today is the first day of the rest of my new life. I'll keep you informed and thanks for the advice; I'll definitely take it!!!

Good for you. I am so jealous! What preparations do you need to do the day before? I'm sure you can't eat after midnight. Anything else? Like those fleet enemas? I hate those things so much it could almost prevent me from having the surgery! I said almost!

Congrats on going to bandland.....I hope you are doing well and that your surgery went well. I have my surgery on Monday June 18th so I guess I will see you on the other side. Best of luck.

Thank you guys -- Yes, I'm not officially a bandster! The only thing that hurts in where the port is. And I'm just now starting to get the gas pains below my ribcage and just below the shoulder in my back.

I'm so happy it finally is done!! and ShellQueen, the preps for the big day: I couldn't eat or drink after midnight and up until the surgery (I was scheduled for noon). My dr. said if you shower that morning, no perfumed soaps or shampoos. Wear loose clothing & slip on shoes to the hospital; that was pretty much it. Not a whole to prep for except the eating or drinking.

Good luck & I'm sure I'll be back for more questions & support. You are all a great bunch of people!

I'm probably going back to bed now -- didn't sleep well because I couldn't sleep on my left side without it hurting. And I don't do well on my back, so I'm having to adjust for now.

Have a great day all!!!
