SURGERY TOMORROW 12/17

Have to be at the hospital at 5:15am. I can't believe the day is here. I'm REALLY really nervous.:unsure: Asking that you keep me in your thoughts tomorrow.

Good luck to all the December bandsters!

    I had a 2PM banding and it wasn't that bad not to eat anything after midnight. Just had a big Protein shake at 11:30. I was antsy/nervous most of the morning

    Good luck everyone, I was banded on wed and I tell u, its over before u know it...last thing I remember is being given the versed (sedation med that makes it so u fall asleep and don't remember anything) being told to move to the table and then breath in the oxygen, and tada wake up on the way to recovery thinking we didn't even start, you will all be fine and goooooodddd luck :)

    I am going in tomorrow - Surgery at 3:00 so I think the no eating part will be difficult. Hope everyone is doing well :)

    Thanks everyone for the replies! Surgery went well. I am so relieved that it is over, however the actual surgery wasn't THAT bad. I have been in some pain this week, mostly just discomfort from the gas...which sucks. I'm just ready to be back to myself and start this new life journey! Merry Christmas everyone!!!
