surgery on the 30th!!

[danyel723 0]

Very very anxious,nervous,excited,relived...oh the list could go on and on. I am just excited for it to be over and to start my new life. I finally feel like this is something that is going to change my life. I have been overweight my entire life, trying every diet known to man and failing every single one. This time I just feel like it is going to be different. I know it is still going to be a challenge and at times hard, but I think this is what is going to work. I wish you all the best, please keep me informed.

I’ve been fine the entire time but now I’m getting butterflies in my tummy knowing that this time tomorrow I will be in the hospital being prepped for surgery. Woohoo!!! I wish you all the best and hope to speak to you all soon.

BTW.. How long is everyone taking off from work? I was originally going to take two weeks but I extended it to three, since I never had surgery and I don’t know what to expect.

Take care,

Jenn

Welcome all of you and best of luck on your surgeries!!! Hope you all love your bands like iI love mine. Donna

I'm taking off only 4 days...my boyfriend owns a bar that I do the lunchtime shift at so I figured it would be good to do the walking. I hope I love my band as much as you do Donna! 1 more day!!!!!!

i'm only taking off wed-fri. and back to work on monday. my surgeon said that would be enough time and just to get up and walk if i feel discomfort. i have a desk job so i think it will be ok.

I am suprisingly calm today, and I can't believe how fast time has gone by! Just cleaning the house to keep busy and not think about food!!

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am, I may not even go to sleep tonite.

Good luck every one! Lets meet up here on this thread Thurs/Fri (or when your feeling up to it) to check in with each other!!

Man who new this would be sooooo nerve racking. I said goodbye to my family and I leave for the airport in an hour. My pre-op appt is today @ 4:30. So I'll get to meet everyone for the first time. My surgery isn't until 11:00 tomorrow so I'll have some time in the morning. Looking forward to actually being in the banded stage. Goodluck to everyone.

how's everyone doing? i'm in pain and ca't really do much but lie down or walk around a bit. i'll post more of my experience later when i feel better.

hope everyone's surgery went well!

I have pain also. I think I over did it flying back home today. But it's always more comfortable in your own home. So hopefully 'll be feeling better soon. Looking forward to everyones experience.

Take care,Laura
