I arrived at the hospital today to get my blood tests done, the doctor who done it wasn't very nice and it worrys me about tomarro I have deep vains and he stuck a needle in both wrists, both arms, left hand and left foot I feel like a pin cushion, and now I'm super worried about my op tomarro morning any words of wisdom/advice?

Wow... Just wow. Anyways, lord help me if I have a typo writing this since my auto correct gets wonky every once in awhile, forgive me oh gods of grammar and spelling that exist out there: ( is this a proper usage of a colon... Gah! I am all a flutter that it is wrong! The internets will be angry!) be brave! You will do great and there are tons of people on this site that are here to support with kind words. (swear it! Typos and all!)

I actually always do tell nurses and doctors I have SERIOUSLY deep veins, and the reply I get is 'yea yea, I've been doing this for years, I know what I'm doing' but then they soon realise they've met their match and can't get to my veins and I get so frustrated I find that maternity nurses/midwives are good at finding them sometimes, but none of them here so nervous something will go wrong tomarro

Wow....Anyway, its ok to be nervous. It's a natural reaction. Just explain your concerns before they start & you'll be fine.

Amazon13 must not have been educated enough in life to read. He can spell great, but somehow the fact this is a "support " group got past them.

Good luck. I'll keep u in my thoughts. My 'band day' is wends. My nerves are getting silly. But I'm so excited too!! Chin up, and don't let them prod u like bull;)

Good luck dear! I will keep you in my prayers! No worries, everything will be fine! Just try to drink liquids when you can and try not to tense up when they try to draw blood because that will

make the veins hide! Take care and i wish you a speedy recovery! Keep us updated!

Everything went well, better than I expected, got my band 6 hours ago and i feel fine just some wind pain but I can drink water, tea and hot chocolate, worried my band isn't working already because I can drink so much!

Glad to hear everything went well and your doing well. Congrats and good luck on your journey!!!

Thank you <3

Liquids are interesting. I thought mine was having issues too. But it makes sense. Liquids go straight thrum to full stomach. So have to avoid high calorie drinks.

So glad to hear everything went well!!! Congrats & much success to you on your journey
