Tomorrow is D-Day, anxiously nervous

Well tomorrow is IT. I'm excited and nervous. Nervous about going through the procedure and not knowing what to expect afterwards but excited to start my new journey. I can' t wait to look back a year from now and think, wow I've done this! I know there will be many ups and downs but I know in the end it will be worth it to be healthy and happy! Any last words of advice for calming the nerves?? Thx all!

Mine is at 7:30 too! I have to be there at 6. I know what you mean about the liquid diet! Is yours strictly liquid or do u get a small meal at night? My diet was 2 weeks and consisyed of a shake at breakfast and lunch and then a weight watcher meal at night. Today im on strictly clear liquids.

I was strictly liquids for 5 days. I wish I could've had a meal. I'm not a weight watchers meal fan, but I would've gladly gobbled down one after drinking protein shakes and broth. lol

I'm tomorrow too at 1130 I was moved from 730 I have been on liquids for 7 days!!!! I'm ready!!! Freaked but ready

Hey all I'm also tomorrow! Have to be at the hospital at 9! Good. Luck everyone!

Good luck to all of you. Keep us updated. I'm going under next week June 6 :)

Good luck to everyone that's having their band today! I can't wait until September! I want to be where you are now!

How did it go for those who got their bands yesterday?

Chez, everything went well and I'm banded... Just didnt expect the pain and tightness to be this bad! I'm a baby when it comes to pain lol and my situation with the subutex I take I think it's still blocking the pain meds even tho I stopped it on Tuesday... I don't feel much relief from the Percocet... I'm hanging in there tho, I hope everyone else did well! And is resting comfy!

Everything went great! Dr complimented me on following the liquid diet as it made things so much easier for him he said. I'm just in a lot of pain and laying around!

Congrats on your new bands! Is everyone doing clear liquids for a week after? I just got great news today, my surgery has been moved up to this Tuesday! I'm so anxious & excited.

Congratulations to everyone having surgery. You have taken the first step towards a better, healthier life.

Cheznoel thanks for following up. Surgery went well. Right now im just really bloated making the fluid intake a little more difficult then i expected. Just sipping slowly and walking to try to get the gas under control. I feel very full very quickly. On a full clear fluid diet for 5 days.
