Well its 12:30 am and I can't sleep nerves and excitment I guess. My ride to the airport arrives at 5:30 and then a 4 hour flight to Toronto. I can't believe how fast time has gone I get my surgury on the 13th @ 12:00. I am hoping I will be so exhasted when I get to Toronto with the time change that I will sleep tomorrow, well I guess its really to night. I want to wish evreyone good luck with their surgury and the start of our new lives.

Got banded yesterday at 8am, along with a hiatal hernia repair. Surgery was at 730am and I was waking up in recovery before 11. Still in the hospital as my doc always requires a minimum one night stay. I have pretty tremendous pain personally, I just realized yesterday that this it's major survey! I have five fairly large incisions for laproscopic, could show you guys a picture! I hope to go home sometime today but I don't feel great by any means

Morning All..i got my banded on Monday. had a few little gliches though. My veins are very tiny and deep so the anesthesiologist couldnt get a vein. Spent a couple of hours at that and at last count I counted 22 tries..lol Ended up having a central line inserted near my neck/shoulder so they kept me over night as a precaution. I finally got home yesterday afternoon and feel pretty good. Not a lot of gas pain and the liquids are going down well. Little sore in the shoulder where they put in the central line and a little stiff at the port site, but other than that I feel good!!

So glad that it is done. Good luck to everyone else getting banded in the next coule of weeks. It really isnt that bad! For those of us who have had kids..it is a walk in the park

I'm being banded on September 24th. I feel kind of funny admitting this, but the liquid diet isn't bothering me that much. Probably because I've done a hospital-supervised 12-week liquid diet before -- twice! I did fine and lost a lot of weight on the liquids, but when I started solid food again, I had no control. I can't wait for the band to help me!

@DisneyNut - What are you drinking on your liquid diet? How many calories per day? I get banded on the 20th, I started my liquid diet on Monday and I'm bored with chicken broth... What types/brands of Protein Shakes?

Thanks

Mimi..it will be fine. I ws done on Monday and I am extremely over weight. had some issues but here it is Wednesday and I almost feel 100%. A little stiffness but I showered myself. Made my Uncle some grilled cheese for his lunch and even dryed and fixed my hair..lol I understand the streee, but it really isnt as bad as you would think. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!
