Aug. 5th - The BIG Day!

So in less than 24 hours from now, I will have been banded. So hard to believe! My surgery is at 7:30am (first one of the day). I considered lap band about a year ago, did very little researching, and never really thought about it again until a couple months ago. Then a little over a month ago I really started doing my research and attending information seminars for different surgeons. Never in a million years did I actually think I'd go through with it, or that I would go through with it so quickly (I decided to take the self-pay route so I didn't lose my nerve again, or take on another 6 months of "dieting" that would only further frustrate me).

So here I sit, trying to imagine what tomorrow will be like for me. The nerves are definitely there, and I'm sure they'll be working overtime tomorrow morning - but for now, I'm also feeling some of the excitement and hope for the possibilities this "tool" will offer me.

So send some good thoughts my way, and for those of you already banded - feel free to send me some pointers for those first few days after surgery too.

Take care everyone! :frown:

I am getting banded tomorrow at 7:30 also! I am nervous, and hoping everything goes smoothly. I hope it goes well for you also. I'm trying to think positive thoughts about how this surgery will have a positive effect on my life. Good luck to you!

I too am getting banded tomorrow!!!! Woo Hoo!!! Here we go guys!!!! Well wishes for all of us!!!!
