Thanks, I have to check it at 11:20am, and the surgery will be approx 2 hours from then, but it could be sooner or alittle bit later. I hate late check ins. I am trying to keep positive thoughts. I am so nervous about the surgery and now getting sick don't make it no better. I have alot of confidence in my dr so I know it will go ok and be ok.

Hey everyone

I just got banded on June 12th!!!! Everything went well. Just a lot of gas but walking works.. So everyone walk, walk, walk! Anyone who is getting it done dont be nervous! Its a cake walk, just do what they say, and try to get a night stay in the hosp so they can control your pain meds. I cant wait for the results!

Good luck..

so glad to hear it was a "cake walk"......i've been fine since i started this process...focused and calm....but i've got to tell you, since monday i've been distracted, i can't concentrate, can't sleep.....i know it's nerves, and i'm hoping this is normal.

Updegraff, thanks. I am so excited right now, but also so nervous. I am worried about the dr sending me home with a rescheduled surgery for being sick. Yuk. I feel like I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for time to pass to leave. Lol.

I am soooooo excited for you!!:wink2:

LOL ddorman67. I hate counting the hours. Well, we are off to drop the boy off at Gammas and Gappas, then off to the hospital. I will post how it went later or tomorow.
