I am always nervous about being put out , my doctor joked and said they don't pay him to put me to sleep they pay him to wake me up lol, didn't stop me from sobbing in the table as they were prepping me , you will be ok deep breaths you'll be done in a wink , best of luck

I had my surgery on the 19 and the swelling has made me not hungry at all the thought of food makes me cringe maybe it will be different when the swelling goes down but my family had a big cheesy pizza yesterday and it didn't even tempt me

I would get it checked swelling should be goins down not up

I wore my husbands t- shirt which was really loose my biggest sweat pants and slip on shoes sports bra and comfy undies

Just got my band yesterday gas only showed up today a heating pad really helps with the shoulder

Thanks everyone , I was propped up , maybe I will try flat

This is my first night post op , have any of you slept on your back? Or just sitting up?

Depends on the dr , my doctor had me on all liquid protein diet for two weeks he determines who long by your bmi

Congrats ! It was my band day as well, hope for a speedy recovery

I am banded! Still very groggy from the anesthesia , a little tight in the chest and moderate pain where the port is but other then that I feel pretty good

I am off to the surgery centre scared witless wish me luck , see you on the other side

Thank you everyone! Nerves are terrible today, good luck to everyone who is being banded this week

I can't believe the date is finally here tomorrow at 1040 I will be among the banded and I am TERRIFIED!

Good luck!

I am on day 11 of my 14 day pre op , I have followed it to the letter 3 meal replacement shakes a day and 225 calls low glycemic veggies and have lost 14 pounds

I'm in day 8 tomorrow an right now I would rob an old lady for a sandwich , I have been doing the same thing with Pinterest it's just a slow torture

Until banding, I am so tired from the pre op diet very sluggish today and really just want some food ... Sigh... It's rough today

Best of luck!

Good luck! And yay to the end of pre op shakes!

When they open you up, if you follow the doctors pre op plan you should be fine

Ha to funny kbush! I am on day five pre op and I look so forward to my shakes lol

I see a lot of people saying its gallbladder surgery same scars, as well as hernia repair

We CAN do this habits sure are hard to break

As you I'm sure know the first days are rough holy jumpin!

For a piece of cheese lol, day four of liquid and it was rough , I was hungry , I didn't cheat but man cheese would have been good
