Tomorrow is my day. I'm excited and nervous. I don't see a lot of men here getting this surgery. I pray all goes well.

Just drank my last protein shake pre surgery!!! Clear liquids only tomorrow and surgery 7:30 am Wednesday!! Nervous and Excited!

Was banded today (out patient) and not much discomfort. Left shoulder ache using heating pad helps 100%. A hiatal hernia was aslo fixed and more discomfort in the area. Taking liquid pain meds for hernia. Prior to hospital release I walked many minutes with a nurse.

My doctor didnt want me to use ice chnips for 24 hours. I see him on followup in 2 weeks.

Be positive and your day will be here soon.

Be positive and follow any and all doctor directions pre-op. Makes band day easy. Mine was easy. Very little discomfort except hernia repair. Banded 8 hours ago.

August 30th here! EGD on 17th. Seems like time is just standing still...

August 24th is what I'm shooting for!

Rojasanoll glad you're doing so well. sounds like you're doing wonderful.Been thinking of ya.

I am being banded on the 10th. Doing good on the pre-op diet, but getting nervous on the surgery.

Just stay focused on what you are doing on Pre-op by eating right. I will be a 100% boost in your recovery state. Lots of protein and take all your vitamins. Have gas-x, Liquid Tylenol just in case. Make sure you have a heating pad and know where it is. I plugged mine on one day and checked it out. Have ice cubes for blender ready. Any food panty shelves, please use those for your lapand food items. For a few days you won"t feel like bending over, believe me. Being single, I purchased a pickup objects from Walgreen. It's mostly used by people who cant bend over and picks up lots of things off the floor/rub.

Best wishes on you day. It will be here quickly!

August 21st.... 2 weeks from today!! :) :) :) I can't wait!

August 13th!! :)
