I go in tomorrow and I'm going to be honest I'm petrified I'm not sure of what though anesthesia which I've had before or what I anticipate the first few post op days will be like ugh I hate this feeling

I'm going in on Monday at 730 I'm so nervous any words of advice??

I too feel like I have more and more questions. Good luck to u as well

Love potatoes! But willing to give everything up to be healthy and thin! What'sthe best part?

Wow!!!!! Congrats!!! That awesome I hope to be as successful! What do u think the hardest part of being banded is?

I work in Ossining but for the New York City department of education in a children's hospital as a teacher. My fiancé is a vocational manager at jawanio

How funny! He's not there anymore we live in new city now ... What doc are u using or did u use

My fiancé lived in congers on south congers ave. we're on Goebel rd now off 304

I'm from New City

I'm worried about where to sleep I have a tempurpedic bed and I'm worried its going to be difficult to sleep on and get off so I'm thinking couch for the week .. Jessica how was getting up and down?

I only planned for 3 days until I went to that meeting ur going to and learned that our incisions are stapled closed so I plan to take the week and possible the following Monday and tues cuz tuesdy I get staples out also I was surprised to find out Rivera fills the band 5ccs the day of surgery

Ps I sent u two private messages weird if u want try and message me... My name is Alana by the way and ill be 26 on February 3rd!

Yaaayyy me too! I did my preop stuff this past wed. Bloodwork ( I fainted lol baby) EKG Nd upper gi which is awesome because they let u watch it and its amazing to see ur stomach I was like aww it's so cute how could something so small result in such. Big pant size!!

Meanwhile I'm having my surgery on Monday at good Sam ill be in recovery lol

.... I sent you a private message did you receive it? Mine was in the office it's the pre op support group for people getting surgery.. Nope no diet can u believe it!? I felt guilty so I did a Protein shake diet this week considering after the holidays And thinking I was going on a liquid diet I gained 7 pounds ..oops luckily that's the last 7 gained the dietitian was super understanding.. The preop seminar goes over ur b4 surgery Nd the 3 weeks following surgery

Omg I looooovvveeee his office especially Keri and mindy the RN I live down the street and I feel so blessed to have found such a wonderful practice u got banded this week? I'm going in on Monday and I'm scareeddd but excited I didn't have to do any preop I asked a million times . When did u go to ur pre op testing with the slide show?

Wow!! Good for you!! Me too especially since we are in rockland I haven't had surgery yet I go in on Monday at 730 I'm so nervous ill be at Good Samaritan

I will be banded on Monday I am using dr Rivera

I'm from rockland!!!!

Monday January 38th for me!!! I'm trying to stay calm but I'm very nervous and very excited... I feel like I'm going to have ask for something to calm me down before I go into surgery!!! Excited and nervous about how ill feel after and the following days... Question: I have a temperpedic bed, is it going to be easier for me to rest on the couch because it is easier to get off and on or the bed is fine? I'm worried about using my abdomen to get up...

Thx babykins!

Good for you!!! I believe they call it a NSV (non surgical victory?) i have a coworker who said she had so much energy too! And I'm glad to hear at day six ur feeling better I get banded on Monday and I'm worried about the healing time! Congrats again!

Finished my upper gi EKG and blood work for pre op testing! They let me watch the upper gi on a screen that was pretty cool! Congrats to all those banded!! Monday is my big day hope everyone has a speedy recovery!!!
