Hi guys - I am four days pre-op, and I feel great. Other than being a little sore around the stomach, I can eat just about anything. My biggest complaint is that I'm very swollen, and I'm up about ten pounds. Everyone but me in my surgical group was getting a gastric sleeve, but I'm happy with my decision. I just would've preferred to see results. It's been nice laying around this weekend. It has sort of given us permission to just read, rest, watch TV, whatever. Thanks for listening. Laura

Surgery day! I'm here at the airport waiting to go to the hospital

Someone mentioned hydrocodone for after surgery. What, if anything, do they prescribe? I'm not into feeling pain if there is something to alleviate it. I have a stash of hydrocodone at home from dental work. My surgery is next week in Mexico, and I think you can pick up just about anything without a prescription. I'm just wondering what I will need.

I want to be added to the roll call! My surgery is August 30th. I'm starting to get very excited. Glad you guys are out there.

Thank you for your input, guys. I appreciate it. Laura

Hi guys - I'm Laura, new to the forum, and not banded yet. They could schedule me within a couple of weeks if I want. I keep putting it off day after day because I'm scared! It seems like the first few months are so rocky. My sweetie and I enjoy eating together, and I'm concerned about that. I'm about 70 pounds overweight. How did you guys work up the nerve? I'm excited about the outcome, and everyone sounds so positive, but it's so easy to put off doing it. Any suggestions? Thoughts?
