I just wanted to say that this is the last Thursday that I will not have my banded! One more Friday, one more Saturday and one more Sunday!! Woo-hoo! Can you tell I'm excited! Can't wait to get to the other side!

I don't think there's much to be nervious about, you just lie down and wake up in recovery. If you're lucky and stay overnight, you'll go home and that's where the real work begins. Don't forget your slippers andPJs, you know about those hospital gowns. You should have a list of stuff to have at
home before you go, sugar free stuff and chewable vitamins. If you're not
now, you'll become a walker, miles and miles of walking for the first 6
weeks. I hope you have an easy time of it and best of luck.

I'm Lori, a nurse from Oklahoma City. My lap-band surgery is scheduled for 12/22. I'm nervous & excited! So happy to have found this forum & all the support/information you all give. Looking forward to success & better health!

Congrats, I too am having my band put in on 12/22. I am excited as well.Good luck to you both, we will trade stories.
