Hi all,

I am all set to be banded on the 26th (the Monday after Turkey Day)! I am so excited! I think I have everything I am going to need after surgery. I went through the list posted on this site and got pretty much everything on there (except the toilet tongs, hopefully I don't regret that!)

I will keep ya'll posted!

Good Luck Melissa! I am excited for you! You'll have to keep me posted on how things went.

If all goes well, I will be banded on the same day. We'll have to compare "battle wounds!"

I too am starting my new life on the 26th. So lets keep in touch and see how we make out day to day? It would be nice to have a buddy from the same day...:clap2:

Take care, Debbie

Good luck Melissa. My surgery was yesterday. Take it easy when you get home.

Melissa - I bought the tongs and never used them for that purpose. LOL I think you'll be okay. Good luck!

They are to make reaching one's nether regions easier when tidying up in the powder room.

thanks for that little informational tidbit. I am hoping I won't need those. And, tish, good luck on your future doctor visits. I'm sure they will have you rescheduled in no time!

candy8360, THANKS! I thought waiting for the surgery date was tough, but this is killer!

Anyway, I forgot to include this link in the last post. It is a thread that someone started in order to put together a list of items that people will need pre and post-op...including the tongs, te he he. There is a printable version somewhere as well, but I forgot where I saw it!

I found no need for the tongs. I was sore but not that sore. I'm glad that I have a bidet next to my toilet, though, so that I could use it to push up on in order to stand up!

Hey all! I'm going on Monday too! I was originally scheduled for the 5th but had to be rescheduled due to a severe cold.

I have most things from the list but I'm doing my final packing on Sunday.

I'm soooo ready to have this done and over with.

Good luck to everyone!
