Well, I go for it in the morning. Have to be at St Likes Hospital (now part of the St. Vincents Health Care System) at Jacksonville Fl at 0500 AM. Damn early for me! But at least surgeon should be nice and fresh!

Hopefully, should go OK. Don't feel nervous yet but probably will at 0Dark30 when I head over to St Luke's.

Wish me luck

Good Luck! Remember to stock up on gas-x and to walk afterwards!! Getting banded has been the best thing for me!

Good luck!!!!!

Good luck !! I think 5 am is a good time, to early to think.... lol.... by the time u be really up, u will be done

I had to be at the hospital at 5:30 the day of surgery too. It was nice, because I woke up tired (I stayed up late playing on lapbandtalk), went to the hospital, got the blood drawn, waited in my bed dozey, and then was wheeled into surgery at 7:30. I then left the hospital around 11:30am and came home to bed. I made sure to get up and walk every time I woke up, but I slept a lot the first day.

Congrats you will do fine a new start and early is good.

hang in there you will do great and by this time tomorrow you will be resting and happy that it is over.

Thoughts with you.... check in when you can.

Congrats on getting banded tomorrow please keep us posted your going to do great!!! Earlier you go in the earlier you go home!!!

Well had my banding done today. Started about 7:00, out at about 8:00. So far so good. My belly feels like I was shot with a canon ball (5 holes) but no gas or gas pains. Pretty sore though. Still in hospital (9PM)' just gof back from a mandintory walk (every two hours).

I started ths adventure out 3 months ago. I weighed 361 at my 1st weigh in. Today pre surgery I was 333. Might just get to my goal of 250 pounds.
