SCARED!!! BANDED IN 4 hrs

[sfsugrl26 0]

Hey everyone I have been searching like crazy to get some info on people who have gotten banded and the surgery experience. I have never had a surgery so I am freaking out about the whole thing. Is this normal did every one else get the pre surgery jitters I am extremely excited about getting it and have been looking forward to the surgery for like a yr but now that it is literally hours away i am freaking out and wondering do i really want to get this done? I have always been a big baby about things but I am honestly so scared and just hope i wake up after surgery and i cant feel anything while in surgery.If any one has any advice please get back to me asap and also please pray for me.

Hi there

remember to breathe!! You will not feel a thing during surgery, you fall asleep wake up to find that it's all over with. I'm not going to tell you there is no pain involved, I may have had more because I dislocated ribs at the time. Gas-x helped, and the liquid codeine. Remember to keep moving slowly every hour and stay hydrated. I will pray for you and if you have more questions, feel free. It's not as bad as you are inticipating, the surgery is the easy part..trust me. Good luck!!
