hey everyone. was banded yesterday. did well other than when they gave me morphine, it make me nauseated. so they gave me reglan and that seemed to help. not alot of gas. have 5 incisions and really there is only pain on the left. side. but trying to walk. keeping small amnts of water down. very pleased so far.

tomorrow is the big day. I'm so excited, it feels like christmas eve to me. i probably won't sleep a wink tonight and be up at the crack of dawn. i have a 2 hr drive to the hospital and my surgery is at noon. Wish me luck. and good luck to all those others getting banded tomorrow.

hello suzieq and celestial. Im also getting banded the 24th. Its starting to really become a reality. how's the preop diet going for you guys?

Hi all, day 6 of the pre-op diet. going well. the afternoon seems to be when I'm the hungriest but stickin with it. have only lost 3 lbs so far but its 3 less than I was before. Good luck to everyone who is getting banded this week.

hi all, It is day 6 of the pre-op diet. Only one more wk to go before my day. The diet is going good. afternoons are my tough time, but I am stickin to it faithfully. Its really nice to see many others who share the same feelings of nervousness as I do. thanks for bein there.
