Dec 14 In New Jersey

Hi I am set up for surgery in South Jersey. Anyone else in my shoes. Starting to get nervous. Just went for pre admission testing. It went so quickly, now I have a doctors appt and a nutrition class. I try not to think about it because I start to feel sick.anyone want to share their experiences? Thanks

Good luck!!! I try not to think to far ahead of myself...0ne minute one hour one day at a time.

Good luck to everyone! I am Friday also. Had pre-op appt today so it feels "official" now. If anyone is looking for a "buddy" since most of us are on the same day let me know. I could use the companionship as well as moral support. :)

Hoping for some great check ins from everyone tomorrow :). I won't know the time of my surgery until late tonight when the hospital calls to confirm. But at least I know it's tomorrow!!

Thanks. Just got the confirmation call. Tomorrow at 1:30!

Today is the day! Good luck to all the bandsters having surgery today! See you on the flip side :)

All done and home already. Sore, but certainly not as bad as I thought it would be- but maybe that's the meds talking :)

I stayed over night and just got home . I feel terrible ! We were not allowed to have anything no water no ice chips to about one hour before I was allowed to leave. My room was by the nurses station and had to keep buzzing the buzzer to tell them to shut the door and to keep it down. And the room next to me was wailing for some reason. I had a very nice roommate but both of us feel terrible. This belly pain is not anywhere near sit up pain. My favorite saying"this to shall pass" I got to believe tomorrow i will feel better .
