So today is my big day and I am having so many mixed feelings/emotions that I am starting to flip out a bit. First of all, my husband is not supportive at all and has refused to go to the hospital with me so my best friend is going to accompany me. This has been a really hard adjustment in itself but I am not losing sight of what the end result will be regardless of what he thinks. Secondly, I hate surgery and get myself all worked up when I have to have it!!!! So now, I have been sick with a cold for the last three days and I am really worried that something will go wrong. The hospital said that they will do the surgery as long as I have no fever (which I haven't had any sign of a fever) but this cough is what worries me because of the stitching and such. I am scheduled to arrive at the hospital by 10:30 this morning so I guess we shall see if they decide to still do it based on what presents when they examine me . Well, wish me luck and any prayers would be appreciated also....oh and good luck to anyone else having their bands done today!!

Let us know how things are going now. The suspense is awful! Wishing you well!

At first my Hubby was not on board, but now let me tell you he has came full circle! I could not be happier about that. We are self employed so I did tell him no need for him to close down my best friend will take me and call him with updates. I hope your hubby comes around to. You will need him and he will need you. Please let us know how you are doing. I am praying for you and your hubby.

Thank you all for all of the wonderful replies. My surgery went off without a hitch. I had to stay the night because my surgeon does it that way but it went well. I was up and driving the night nurses crazy...LOL. One nurse even said she was gonna buy me some marathon tennis shoes because I had a path worn in the hallway from all the walking. My hubby has made a full circle and I believe his lack of support was due to worry and nothing more. He called me in pre- op and asked me if I wanted him to come to the hospital and I told him no...LOL. Now that I am home, he can't do enough for me and has even started talking about his own need to eat healthier and how this will be good for him too.

I am having a bit of trouble with the gas pain thing but he bought me some gas-X earlier and that seems to help with the discomfort in that area. I'm just taking the healing one day at a time. Supposed to go back to work on Sunday night ( I work midnights) but I think I will take an extra day on that.

I love this site and all of the help it offers. It really helps that most everyone is or has gone thru the same things and are so kind and willing to offer advice. Thanks bunches.

And they lived happily ever after! What a great BEGINNING to your new life! Congrats!

I just knew your Hubby would come through for you. Most of them just do not want us to know how they worry about us. I am set for May 3 so please keep us updated. I am happy to know you are doing ok.

Maybe he was scared about you having to have elective surgery... and that was his way of showing his fear? Now that you have had the surgery, his fears are gone and he can be supportive and show his true emotions
