    One Day Pre-Op!

    By Brit7,

    Here I am, one day away from being banded...oh my goodness it is so hard for me to believe. The hoops I have had to jump through to get to this point...crazy. Almost gave up, I wanted to give up several times, but couldn't do it...after all that's just what the insurance companies want isn't? Enjoyed Greek food last night thanks to my family, delicious.
    Today alas it is clear liquids all the way, and nasty tasting Magnesium Citrate. So excited for tomorrow. Have the upmost faith in my surgeon, he is one of the best plus, he removed my gallbladder a few months ago so I figure he already knows his way around. I was in Tahoe for a long weekend and the very first night there I end up in the ER. Had to do a lot of talking and sign a waiver to be discharged against medical advice.
    Back to tomorrow. Have to arrive at 7:30 w/surgery scheduled for 9:45. I'm told I will stay overnight and should be leaving around 11:00 the next morning. Then it's blended food. Actually I am more nervous about how I will manage post-op, with eating....Will I have problems keeping things down? That is my biggest fear right now, vomiting and stretching the band.
    Well tomorrow will tell...wish me luck....wonder if I will sleep tonight
