excieted for you set out your heating pad its a real comfort

Congrats!

Congrats on getting your band.......I totally agree with line-dancer on getting your heating pad out or buying one if you don't have one now. Also, get ready to walk because I got banded on April 11th of this year and managed to hold onto some of the gas they put in your abdomen to do the surgery. It hurts and mine hung out for approx. 4 days. My heating pad was my best friend as was my daily walks. Don't mean to scare you, just giving you the whole truth as I wish someone had done for me.

Last and most important is always remember that any pain or discomfort you endure is only a temporary thing and it will go away!!! Follow your surgeon's rules to the letter no matter what anyone else says they did or didn't do....then get ready for your new life!!!! Good luck to you!!!! Keep us posted.

Congratulations! Mine is the 26th. I went to goodwill and bought a heating pad for $2. I'm only going to need it for 2 weeks and traveling in an rv, space is minimal, so I can just bring it back to them when I'm done. Anyhoo, best wishes!

Please make sure you don't schedule yourself to return to work too soon. Heads up.
