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

It gets better. That's why I wanted to come home last night. Nothing like sleeping at home. Plus with everything that happened in CT yesterday I needed to come home and hug my baby!

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 .

Hope you are feeling better tonight. I texted you earlier. You have already gone through the worst of the pain. Call me or text me if you need anything. (((((Hugs)))))

Hi how are you coming along?

I am Dec. 14th also. I am getting nervous but know this is a piece of cake. I had the gastric bypass 9 years ago and I struggled with recovery. I had a friend that had the lap band and my dad has also and their recovery was quick and speedy. We will both do great! Good luck!

Hi how are you doing?

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. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

So how are you doing?
