  1. I was TERRIFIED. I thought about dieing on the operating table. I thought about being under anesthesia and feeling everything and not being able to tell the Dr. I was in pain. I thought about having a cardiac arrest. I worried about the breathing tube they put down your throat. I thought about it all!! I know EXACTLY how you feel!! I cried so much that event he admitting lady came in and hugged me. The Dr's, the nurses, everyone felt bad for me. I had never been in the hospital before, or even had stitches. One minute the girl was asking me a question, and the next minute I was waking up in recovery. I was banded on 06/10/09 and I would do it again in a second. It wasn't bad at all. Hope this helps! :0)
  2. Hello! I just had surgery last Wednesday, June 10th. I laid around for a few days, but for the most part, I feel great!! I was back to work yesterday. I'm a little sore, but nothing I can't live with. I only took 1.5 percocets the whole time I was recovering. Good luck!
