I'm Lori, a nurse from Oklahoma City. My lap-band surgery is scheduled for 12/22. I'm nervous & excited! So happy to have found this forum & all the support/information you all give. Looking forward to success & better health!

I don't think there's much to be nervious about, you just lie down and wake up in recovery. If you're lucky and stay overnight, you'll go home and that's where the real work begins. Don't forget your slippers andPJs, you know about those hospital gowns. You should have a list of stuff to have at

home before you go, sugar free stuff and chewable vitamins. If you're not

now, you'll become a walker, miles and miles of walking for the first 6

weeks. I hope you have an easy time of it and best of luck.

Hi! My name is Tammy and I am a PTA in the Durant area! I will also be having surgery on the 22!! So excited but also nervous! Best wishes and hope everything goes very smooth for you!!

Congrats, I too am having my band put in on 12/22. I am excited as well.Good luck to you both, we will trade stories.
