In less than 6 hours I will be arriving at the hospital for my band. As I am sitting here I feel euphoric and nauseous.... I will soon put the patch behind my ear the doctor gave me so the nausea should pass. I feel as if I could even cry ... its part relief that its finally here and I am starting down the road to my rebirth and part fear of what is to come. I have had many surgeries over the past 20 yrs. due to female problems, back and neck issues but this is the first surgery I actually chose to have and didn't have to have..... I can honestly say that if it weren't for the wonderful ppl that i have met on the site I would seriously need a Valium right now to calm my nerves. THANK YOU EVERYONE !!!!!!

Congratulations! I wish you a painless recovery! I am feeling it now myself having gotten my band placed two days ago. Each day really has been better than the last...the walking really does help even if you don't feel like it.

so glad to hear its getting better for you.... will keep in touch througout the months.....keep it up!!!!
