lyndzileigh 0 Posted December 28, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Treesa 0 Posted December 28, 2008 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

SamieTeacher 0 Posted December 31, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
