Surgery Tomorrow 2/6

Hi all :)

I am finally having surgery tomorrow! I was originally scheduled for 1/29 and then had to get postponed because of a UTI.

Long story short, I never had the UTI. The lab contaminated my specimen and I was forced to retest and everything was perfect. So glad my doctor was able to squeeze me in!

I have lost 22 lbs on my preop diet since I wound up on it for an xtra week with the UTI nonesense.

Anyone else being banded tomorrow?

I am nervous for surgery but cant wait to be on the other side!

I did it!

I am officially banded! :)

I gotta say though this gas pain in my shoulders is horrible! I have my gas x and heating pad thanks to the tips I picked up on here but, boy does it hurt! How long does the gas take to go away? I am getting up and walking a lot as I know that helps too.

They also found a hiatal hernia when they did the surgery and repaired that as well.
