Hi my wife is getting her band tomorrow and I am nervous but I don't think she is

she's probably more excited today but tomorrow it will probably hit her and she will be alittle nervous of the procedure. wish her the best of luck.

For her it's really a simple procedure, all she has to do is show up, they do all the rest.

You should probably practice wringing your hands and pacing. Surgery should take 30

minutes to an hour, then an hour or two in recovery. Don't bring books, maybe an iPod

if she's really into music. She won't be able to eat or drink for a few hours, so no pizza

or coke. Depending on your facility, she may stay overnight or go home the same day.

If you have a choice, try for the overnight. Everyone wants to go home ASAP, but

I like the security of an O/N stay. Best of luck to you both.

Oh, don't forget to take slippers and PJs. The hospital gowns are quite revealing.

Yay for your wife!!!! She will be so happy to start her new journey. Be as supportive as you can. You'll love all the changes :-)

Good luck to your wife and everything will be fine.

Good luck to your wife tomorrow!

I second everything on this post! Just be kind, she will need you to just be there and take her for walks down the hall, etc. I, especially, like the advise of spending the night, if that is part of your facilities and insurance companies plan. I did not feel like making my husband do everything for me. And I wanted someone to be able to check on me, at times! Goodluck to her and you. Karen

Thanks less then a hour to go

That's the best thing for her. I walked like crazy my after noon in the hospital after surgery and never slowed down when I got home!! I truely believe that's why my recovery was soooo fast. I wasn't very sore at all and I just had one day of the gas pains people talk about.. She's going to do great!! I also was not one bit nervous about the surgery - just excited up til the moment the mask went on!

I have been walking around the house and trying to do stuff too. Make sure she doesn't lift anything.
