I had a hiatal hernia and lap band done today. I did not stay over night.

I made it. I am home and eating/drinking some chicken broth. I had a couple of complications-not with the band though. I had a hernia and that was repaired. The also I had a hole in my diaphram. Mt DR says that was probably cause bt a auto wrech i had last year. I have to return to have that repaired.

Well this is it!! I have to be there at 7:30AM. And YES I am getiing really nervous! I should be in bed!!! Tomorrow I will be posting in the Post operation Q&A. I will let everyknow how it goes!

Welcome to Lap Band Talk and yes you will do it!

Hi and welcome. Maybe it is time to get a fill now.

Hi and welcome!!!! I will be banded in 3 days. I am beginning to get nervous!!!

Hello and welcome to Lap Band Talk. I will be banded this wednesday so can't speak to your questions just yet. I did want to welcome you to the forum. Try posting in Post lap band questions!

I am using Dr. Ken Hollis at True Results in Houston TX. I will be banded in 3 days!!

Oh boy still pain 10 days out. How was it on day 5 after your lap band? I have to go back to work on day 5. I work mostly at a desk.

Congratulations on your weight loss! That is a awesome!!

I am on the 20th so 2 days ahead of you! Try to not be so afraid and have faith in your DR . I am nervous too but to me the hardest part has been the diet! We will be just fine! Look for my posts on the evening of the 20th to find out more.

Good luck on your blog and also on your Lap Band Journey!

Awesome just what I wanted to hear you say!!

Hey How you doing? By now you should be a bandster!! Just checking to see how you are feeling!

Hello, I am not banded yet so can't respond to what you are going through right now. I just want to say I am sorry you are struggling and hope things get better soon. I am on my pre-op diet right now and feel kind of weak at times and this makes me seem to get upset much easier. Good luck.

My pre-op diet is for two weeks and I am on that right now. Protein shakes a couple times a day and chicken breast with a cup of green veggies a couple times a day. I am hungry but managing!

My day is April 20th, just one day before you! I feel exactly the same-excited and nervous!!!! I am getting my band with Dr. Hollis at True Results in Houston, TX!

Good for you!!! I am getting mine next Wednesday!! Just hope i do as well as your are! Thank you for sharing!

I also think you should go and enjoy your trip and plan on getting your band after you return!! Good luck!

I pigged out for well over a month while getting all my testing and approval done!! Really not very smart! Now I am starving on the pre-op!!! But only 4 more days!!! I am being banded on next Wednesday!!

Hi and thanks for the replies. I am really getting close. My surgery is next Wednesday!!!!!! April 20th. I am excited and a little scared!!!
