Nausea can be overwhelming after surgery and a 2 hour drive aint gonna help? Although, one day later could be even worse. Usually right after surgery you're so medicated you won't feel a lot of pain and 24 hours later reality could set in. Or, you could be like me and I went back to work(I work from home) in my office the same day and never really had any pain, nausea or discomfort. We all react differently to anesthesia, gas, pain meds etc. I would say that if you get out early enough, go for it but have a back up plan to stay in a hotel between the two cities just in case?

Omg I cant believe that on Monday Im getting banded! Im a nervous wreck right now being on this pre op diet and just thinking about everything. I live in Tucson, Az and Im traveling to Phoenix to get it done. Im debating on if we should get a hotel after my surgery or head back and drive 90 mins. Am I going to be really uncomfortable in the car? Any advice?

Not crazy about pre op diet but I did the blue print cleanse so I guess day 1 is the hardest but by day 2 ur not hungry but miss chewing if that make sense so I prepared myself I see it as 1 month of no chewing but fir the payoff of losing n keeping it off I find if worth it. I. Here to support u anyway I can we can do this !!!

I got my date as well yay me! July 3rd.. I start my diet June 17th I think this will be the worst part for me..lol. But wish you the best!!

Good luck I'm getting it done July 1 n start preop liquid diet Monday the 17 wow this is really happening

i'm getting banded July 10th and I could not be more excited.

Best of luck! I am just before that on the 21st!

That's nice! Congrats!

My appointments went great! My surgeon did the EGD and before he put me under he told me that we will probably schedule the LPS in 2-3 weeks! I go in fir my preop this Thursday May 30th. Im soooo excited and nervous because its getting closer.

Congratulations! It is a life changing procedure, that comes along with educating ourselves on a daily bases.
But it is, oh so worth it.

Wishing you great success. Learn all you can and keep on keeping on. It is a lifestyle change for sure, but one I have never regretted.

Omg my pre op appt is this Thursday. I will find out the exact day for my surgery. I did my EGD and Psych last week and my surgeon said probably 2-3 weeks for my surgery. Im soooo excited for the new healthy me!!

I have my psych eval tomorrow. I believe after that is complete they will schedule my other appts. I'll post an update after my appt tomorrow.

Depends totally on your doctor and their availability. Good luck!

it does depend on your doctor. My pre op appointments were all the day before my surgery.Dont sweat it, Its all very easy...I am finding that i am more nervous about my first fill tomorrow! Good Luck!
