Banded this morning! Dr says it went great. I am hurting, but so happy. I feel full of hope & power. I know that probably sounds weird, but it is how I feel.

Congratulations! You deserve to feel full of hope and power, because your decision is empowering!
Yes, as the poster above states, take your pain meds BEFORE you start hurting. It's much easier to prevent pain than to bring it down once it has climbed.

Monday is my surgery date and I am just so ready to get this started finally! April 8th can't get here fast enough!!!!

Definitely would love to hear how everything goes!!

I added you as a friend. I will keep you posted and you do the same please...kinda sweet to have a band buddy having surgery on the same day. I wish you all the luck in the world!! Happy Banding~

Keep me posted!! My date is the same as yours!! Good luck!!

Mine is next Thursday the 11th. I fluctuate between being excited and scared. I think the biggest thing I'm worried about right now is my insurance not paying. A fellow co-worker had the surgery and had pre-approval from our insurance and now that the surgery is finished they said "sorry, we decided we aren't going to pay". So now he had $30,000. in bills and a fight with the insurance company. Apparently there is a caveat in small print on all insurance company's pre-approval letters that basically says they reserve the right to refuse to pay at a later date....that later date being after surgery.

Just received my surgery date this morning. I am getting banded on April 11th and so looking forward to it. I have been reading about so many people being on pre-surgery diets but I wasn't instructed to follow any specific plan or even to change anything yet. Maybe I should get with the program and start eating a bit more like I will be doing after my surgery.
Good luck all!!!
