Hello, I'm in the same boat as you... I am having surgery monday as well... The ladies at the office got me in before the 1st due to insurance change as well, although I didn't get a denial, BCBS gave me the run around a couple weeks into November and I was worried that I would not get an approval before the first.... Do you have a pre-op diet? Mine is liquids for 48 hours.... I'm getting nervous with a whole bag of mixed emotions... Good Luck

I'm being banded tomorrow as well. I'm glad I found a few people on here going through the same emotions as myself. I seem so scared and don't know why..I see you live in West Virginia..not too far from myself. Good luck, hope to "talk" to you after surgery.

Thank you all for your good wishes. My surgery is late tomorrow, its scheduled for 2:30pm. I wish it was earlier. It gives me more time to be nervous. I am so scared. I will write when i get home in a day or two.

Good luck to all of us Monday 12/29 banders!!!!! :tongue_smilie:

Mine is at 10:30. I have to be there at 8:30 which is pretty standard I think. I was hoping for a really early one so I wouldn't have time to worry. I will keep you in my prayers tomorrow!

We're all going to be a-ok. I'm very nervous and I keep having dreams about FOOD! Ahhhh! lol Let's all get back on here when we can and check in with each other.

Good luck future Banders! There are a few of us getting banded this week, posting under the "December 30th" post. I am December 31st, like Dragon I just made it in before insurance change Jan. 1. We are all a bunch of nerves and can't wait for this week to be over and welcome 2009 as a banded person!

I'm so sick of clear liquids- I can't wait to get my band and my pain meds so I can stop thinking about CHEWING something!!!

I go in on Tuesday Dec. 30th. I have to be there at 6AM- surgery at 8:30AM. I'm lucky that I got the first spot!

I can't wait to get my band!!!!

Good luck and blessings for all of us!

Thank you for thinking about us new bandees.... How is everyone doing? Got banded on Monday, I think yesterday was the worst, feeling much better now, now that I've got pain meds in me, hehehe.....

I am very sore, having trouble sleeping on my side. My surgeon's nurse said to put a pillow under my tummy and that is helping. I have loritab for my pain but I was told to take it easy since it causes severe Constipation. I'm on Clear Liquids for a week...what about you guys?
