HELP!! My surgery date is July 18 and I am scared! I see the dietician this Thursday so I am unaware of what the 10 day diet before surgery consists of. I am excited to have the surgery and ready to get on with the banding, but I am scared. Are these feelings normal?

Thank you in advance for all the support you can give!!

Hey! I am getting banded on the 18th, too! You're going to do great. Actually, WE are going to do great :thumbup:

I am definitely nervous, too. But I think you would be crazy NOT to have reservations before going into surgery. But just look at this board- look at all these people that have had this done! Use them as a resource. They are all the best!

Good luck to you! I am getting banded in Portland, what about you?

Thank you for the wonderful support! Tonight is the first time I have posted. I have read many posts and enjoyed reading, but felt it was my time to get involved in the posts. I am getting banded in Oklahoma City, OK. We will definitely have to keep in touch since we are getting banded the same day. Have a terrific week and once again, thanks for the support!

I am getting banded tomorrow (july 2) and I am scared too. By what I read from everyone, it's very normal. I am more scared than excited. I will be excited once I wake up from the anesthesia! Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery. I will post again once I am home from the hospital.

Good luck to you! I will be excited to hear from you after your surgery.

Yes completely normal. I had a major breakdown right before surgery the day before. Like how did I get here. It is normal and you should congratulate yourself of seeing so. Good luck with your surgery and weight loss!

I definately think nervous is normal. I am going in for my surgery 3 days before you so I will try to post when I get home to let you know how I am feeling. I am still very nervous but I am trying to just take one day at a time. Reading all the post from people before and after is extremly helpful.

I think is is absolutely normal to be nervous. I know that I was both nervous & excited at the same time. It will be worth it!!

Who is your surgeon? I was banded by Dr. Keith in Norman and have not regretted it once.

LK2teach,

Had my surgery July 2 and I am 7 days post-op now and doing well and you will do well too. Once they put me out, I don't remember a thing except waking up in recovery. I am still a little sore, but am doing well. My advice is to get plenty of rest afterwards. I went back to work 6 days after surgery and wished I would have taken off another day or two. Good Luck to you and keep us posted!
