I have one week til surgery!!!! I'm staring to get sooooooo nervous and anxious.... I graduate tomorrow and surgery next week, I am a nervous wreck right now. I'm on day 7 of my liquid diet, I am soooo hungry and I don't know how I am going to handle it graduation nite... Please, let me know what to expect the day of surgery and the next day!!!!

Hi Marsha! I'm being banded Monday and I'll let you know.

Well, every hospital and doctor is different, but it should go something like this: check in, pee test, go to room and strip down and put on gown, have iv line inserted and you relax on the bed until it is time. I got wheeled into the room and they had me slide over to the op table, asked me to lean my head back(for the breathing tube) and that was the last I remember. Unfortunately, I woke up to find that my surgery didn't take place as my liver was too large. I have been on the liquid diet since Oct 28th and I finally go back for my 2nd attempt next week the 16th.

You'll be fine and it'll be great. You'll see. As I always say, "let go and let god" and don't worry about it.
