My pre-op appointment is next week although I won't be banded until July 30th. What should I expect? Blood tests? ultrasounds? chest x-rays?

Hi there,

I also have my pre-op class July 11th & am getting banded July 25th. I would love to know more also about the pre-op. All I do know is I will be getting my scripts to fill and have ready after surgery. The office said I will be having lab work done too. I'm just not sure yet what that entails yet. I'm sure some of these wonderful people on this site will share what their experiences may have been. Though I'm sure it all differs just a bit.

So are you excited, getting nervous? I can't wait!! Eekk (my online girl scream) lol

Trying to keep it light

Lol love the online girl scream I am excited and super nervous! I am having the plication done with the band so I am hoping all goes well. What about you?

I am not getting the plication. We actually didn't discuss that, but I didn't really know to ask about it either in the beginning. I think I'm just going for the good ol' band I'm sure its all going to go well. It's just the anticipation to the lead up I think. I'm trying to be aware and read a lot online. But I'm staying away from the negative feedback & stories. I want to do this with the most positive outlook possible, I don't want to plant seeds in my head of other peoples horror stories & ruminate on them. I'm just excited to be on the flipside (recovery) How about you?
