My band is August 12th, I'm nervous as well. Concerned about the procedure itself, pain, recovery etc. Also nervous about being successful, wondering if I'll be able to change my life and eating habits as drastically as required. I just need to stay focused and believe that everything will fall into place the way it should.

This is so true, I've lost 14lbs so far on Pre-op and my blood pressure dropped to almost normal and the arthritis in my knees is starting to feel so much better.

Good Luck!

Donna: I'm scheduled for my band on August 12 and I've had some of the same concerns about coughing, the band slipping or getting stuck etc. It's still not enough to cause me to put it off though. I feel like this is probably the best decision I've ever made. Even cried when I found out my date! Glad to hear you're finally enroute to your date as well. You may even see some resolution to your current health challenges once you have the surgery. Good luck!

Sorry you're having so much pain but glad to know you're feeling a bit better tonight. It's beneficial to me to hear others' post op experiences so that 'm informed for my own surgery.

I'm also scheduled for August 12th- three cheers for us!

I've been wondering what to expect in terms of pain after my surgery. Family member had band and had severe pain first week, have friend who was back to work in 3 days. Everyone's experience different I guess.
