Hi there I am new to the forum, I'm 23 and I am getting banded on Nov. 7 2007. I have been reading some posts and I am shocked at some of the things I have read. My doctor did not share these things with me and i guess maybe I won't find this out until the pre-op appointment, but I read on a couple posts that you are intibated (sp) and that you have to have a urine catheter(sp) put in...YIKES! do they put these things in after you are out?? I have other psychological problems with my womanly parts that I would never let anyone put a tube in me while I am awake!! Do they take it out before you wake up?? OMG I am super scared now!! Someone please help me understand what I just signed up for...I thought they would just put me out like they did when I had my wisdom teeth removed..now I am nervous and unsure.. Any answers would be helpful!!

Hi there! I just joined and I am being banded on Nov 7! I am extremely nervous because I made the decision to get this done while I am going to school because I was told that my recovery time was going to be anywhere from 1day to a week till I felt completely normal and after reading many posts a lot of people are still not feeling well and it's been weeks since they were banded. I am hoping my age and my physical fitness will help me a little in the recovery time. For the last 6 months I have been working out at the gym 3 days a week for at least half an hour. I am due to return to school only 4days after I am banded and hope I will be okay because I have a presentation project that week I am supposed to return!! I wish I had waited to schedule now!! When will you be banded? What have they told you about recovery?

Hi there!! I'm 23 and getting banded in a week on Nov 7 2007. I am extremely nervous but so glad that I am doing this now instead of later when I have medical complications. Definiatly don't think that we are giving up too early, I have been fighting this since I was 16 and decided I needed help. :0)
