My tentative surgery date is July 23rd because of my work schedule. It may change by a week but it looks like I'm gonna be a July baby. Anyone else out there that will be banded in July?

Tomorrow is my surgery and I am very nervous......anyone that already had it can tell me what to expect tommorrow.

Glad you're doing well. I don't have any gas pain. Just a bit of incision pain, but that went away with my medications. It's finally over yay!
