Hi there,

My name is Rebecca and I am getting ready for my lapband. I was part of 1800GETTHIN but I got lucky enough to get Dr. McKeen as my surgeon. He told me I will feel nauseous for the first few days and I am worried about that. How will I know what is normal? How much pain will I be in? Also, I take Vicodin for bad headaches as needed and he told me I can just take that after surgery for pain. Will I be able to swallow a pill?

I'm going on the 14th. So nervous. I really didn't get any information from my doctor. My insurance approved my surgery, and the doctor's office scheduled my surgery, and told me what time to be at the hospital! That's it. No literature. Nothing.

I'm going the twelveth, I'll let you know how it turns out. Good luck.
