Hello All, I am waiting for my final phone call with the time that I have to be at the surgery center in the morning. I am nervous, anxious and a little scared, but am hoping that a slight sinus issue I have had this week will not cause a problem. I started taking meds on Monday trying to keep it from getting too bad, has mainly affected my throat and my lungs are clear, no fever at all, so I am hoping that my surgeon says come on in. I have been on my pre-op diet since the 7th and really can't stand the thought of doing it again or worse yet staying on it til I am rescheduled.

Well really just wanted to share my worries with some that would understand while I am waiting for my phone to ring. Hopefully this time tomorrow I will be posting that I am a bandster!!

Good Luck and congratulations on taking back your life!! Please let us know how you make out!

Sending good thoughts!! Hope you get the call and get your surgery tomorrow and get it done and over!

Thanks for the good thoughts, got the call finally. The nurse told me to be there at 7:15 tomorrow morning unless she called me back after talking to the Dr. about my sinus issue. I will post with results tomorrow!! Thanks again!!

Good luck!

Hi Britgirl,

Hope you are feeling well after your surgery. Please keep us posted. I'm so curious about the first 24 hours after surgery. I am single and I was wondering if i should be ok staying by myself the first nite?

Good Morning! Thanks again for all the well wishes...I am up and getting dressed to head out for my new journey. I wish all my fellow 22nd bandsters good luck today and hopefully we will meet back here this evening. I wish all the ones already banded continued success. Am so glad this forum is here.

Good luck those getting banded today!!! Can't wait to hear about your story.

Jennifer, I would have someone stay with you the first few nights, just because your abdominal is sore and you might need helping getting up and down.

I Hope all went well for you. I am new hear and waiting for my surgery date. My pre op appointment is on the 26th. Just a few days away. I am getting nervous. I really would love to hear from you.

I am officially a bandster....woot woot. I got home about 1:30 this afternoon, did the breathing thing they sent home with me, took a nap. I woke up feeling good and could even sleep on my side. I did get out and walk about 1/4 of mile to work the gas out after my nap but think I will just veg out the rest of the evening. I hope all the others banded today had the same kind of experience. I hope tomorrow is as good as today or maybe even better!! I will be waiting to hear from everyone that was banded today on their experiences.

I was just scheduled for surgery as well. I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. I hope everything went well for you today!!
