thank you for your response..am i not allowed to wear jewelry during surgery? I've never been put under either and im scared of it..with the "happy drug" did you feel better? and do they give you the anesthesia in the operating room with ur family there or what? Im SO TERRIFIED! When did you have your surgery? how long did you surgery take you? time you went in? and when you left? Im freaking out, and im only 18 and want everything to be okay I'm getting it done hopefully on May 24th..any advice for me?

Hi Guys! I am almost 19 years old and have lap band scheduled for May 24th! I am nervous about being put under general anesthesia (never had sugery before), for the surgery itself, and for post op...im pretty much very nervous! I am in perfect health, but woul like to hear from people who have been recently banded or anyone who can reassure me that I will be okay! What should I bring to the hospital? I am in college right now, and im excited for my new life but nervous for the "Getting there" part...any college bandsters out there? is is easy (post op to deal with at college) HELP! THANKS GUYS!
