Monday I will be getting my band. I haven't told any of my family, the only person that knows is my husband. I am getting super nervous now! I know I can do this. I just ask everyone to say a little prayer for me since my family that usually prays for me will not be praying for this event since they have no idea! THANKS EVERYONE!!

Good luck!! Surgery will go fine!! Just remember to sip your water, use Gas X, and walk when you can. Most importantly, rest! You'll be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery

congrats i get band monday to

Prayers sent for both of you getting banded on Monday! Congrats! You'll do wonderfully! :Dancing_wub:

Good luck Monday. I will be in your same boat next Monday the 21st. I can't wait and like you i've kept it very low key with who knows and who doesn't. This is my personal journey and did not want to deal with ANY negativity or judgement. Sending only good positive thoughts your way on Monday!!! Keep us posted when you can.

Prayer is headed your way ! Don't worry it's not that big of a thing, you will do just GREAT !

We all get really nervous. You'll be fine. Good Luck!

I know I'm a little late but good luck today!!! I'm in your shoes tomorrow and the nerves are killing me right now. Hope it all went well!

Yep you too will do fine. It really is not that big of a deal,, I know that it is a big change, but it's easy for them. So try to relax. Let me know when your back.

Good luck to everyone getting their band this week! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks all!

Sending prayers and positive energy your way-and to all those banded today!!! Only my DH knows too - none of the rest of my family. God Bless!!

Well I am offically banded now. Everything went well. I am not in too much pain. I would say the only thing that hurts is where my port is located. The Dr said they have to do a little more prying in that area to get it in place and its a larger incision in that area. I would say the worst part is trying to get that nasty barium down for your xray...blah. Thank goodness I havent had much gas pain and I have yet to be hungry. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that were sent my way! Good luck to all of you that have upcoming surgery dates.

Prayers coming your way!! Best of luck to everyone being banded soon! I can't wait till my turn!

Glad to hear that it went well, and it's really not to bad....

WELCOME TO BAND LAND !
