Congrats!

Congrats! I hoe your pain goes away soon.

Congrats! I just got banded today. I love to read these successes!

Hi, I was just heading in here to reply. I am doing pretty good. Glad to be home. Thanks for all your encouragement. I hope all is going good with you!

I am home. I was banded this morning in Toronto Canada, and headed back to Ottawa around 1pm (4.5 hr drive) and I was fine on the drive. No nausea, I had pain when I woke but the meds helped and the shoulder pain is subsiding nicely. I do have a strange poke hole that seems to be bleeding a bit on the front of my left shoulder? Any idea why they'd do that? I didn't notice it until I got home. Other than that 3 incision in my abdomen and they also repaired a medium hiatial hernia. I am now having a bit of throbbing soreness on my left side, but nothing terrible. Thanks for all the well wishes!

Glad to hear! I just got home.

Good luck! I am posting from the waiting room now!

Heading out now, omg I am freaking inside!

Arrived this afternoon. Now sitting in the hotel room waiting to go to bed as soon as I can! lol Yikes!

Glad to hear it went well!

Good luck All! I will be banded this time tomorrow! I am waiting in the hotel room.

Just arrived in the hotel room in Toronto! Little more than 12 hours to go now. ACK

Thank you everyone. I am on my way to Toronto. Last day unbanded!

Oh, and I leave for Toronto bright and early in the morning! I will try to check in here tomorrow evening from the hotel.

He is staying. I was going through the pre-op package and I have to have someone with me for the first 24hrs.

I plan on taking one the morning of surgery. I also have some others.

Good luck!!

Hello, I have been here for a about 2 weeks now. I have sucked up all the info I can - good and bad. I have chatted with some wonderful people on here and I am so glad I found this forum. I have learned a lot. Now my date is approaching fast. The house is clean, laundry all done, my liquids and mushies have been stocked/prepped and I am packed. I have done all I can to prepare, now the wait.... Tomorrow morning I leave bright and early for a 4.5 hr drive to Toronto Canada and check into a hotel room. Friday morning I go into surgery at 8:30 am. It is so close and I am half freaking out and half excited to start my new life! I have had cold feet and a twisting knot in my stomach on and off all day. At this point, it will be great when it's done and I am back home, hopefully Friday night. If I don't get to post between now and then, See you all on the other side!

That must feel great! Way to go!

I am getting nervous for Friday. It helps to read success stories! Thanks for sharing. I hope you recover quickly! Congrats!

Mine is indifferent about me having it, he says do what you want.. Thanks for the wishes!

We definitely have issues. lol I agree with you on the jealousy..I really think he is in a way..there is also the fact that there is 11.5 yrs age difference. We need to work some things out. I have some fears, and I am freaking out more today. lol I blogged about it too.

My husband..that's a tricky one. He is a very hard nosed, unsympathetic type... I asked him again if he was still planning on being away and he told me not to be a whiner, it is minor surgery and I'll be fine. I said, but what if I have to go to the hospital?? He kinda rolled his eyes like I am making a big deal out of it and proceeded to tell me about the woman at his work who had WLS and was back to work the next week....ok first, she had a different procedure and he has no idea what her recovery was like the day or so after...sheesh. I don't mean to bash him pubically, but no, he is not the most supportive man on the earth. More of a "suck it up, be tough" kind of guy. Don't get me wrong, he has never ever said anything about my weight or appearance. He has some to lose himself, so he is also on a plan I helped him get info on. He wont be eating crap in front of me or anything, so there will be some support that way.. My mother will stay with me if I need her.

Hi, good luck! I am on the 21st.
