I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

Good luck to all this weeks newly banded... we are almost done with our May banders! Also wondering about steri strips... I am 10 days post op and I have been cutting them down like Dr. Said but when did yours come off?

My Dr didn't say anything about them either,but they've been comin off on their own.

Hi May bandsters! My surgery is tomorrow. Wow' date=' even typing the word 'tomorrow' makes it feel scary. Lol I'm headed to the hospital early and staying overnight. I'm getting anxious. Any words of wisdom for me from those banded earlier this month?![/quote']

How are you doing?? I think someone.already mentioned about the hiatal hernia repair...that made my recovery harder...def take ur pain meds and since u are staying overnight make sure they keep u comfy!

My surgery is tomorrow, 5/30. Sooooo nervous. I'm really dreading getting an IV and getting wheeled back there. I hate that part.

You will do great. It will be over with so quickly. The anesthesiologist put in my IV and he numbed it up first, maybe you could ask them to do that for you also.

I wish they would of numbed mine. It took two nurses and finally got it on the 4th attempt. Now that being said they have always had a hard time finding my veins. You should of seen all the bruises just for the blood work.
