:help:

Monday, the 15th, is my banding day. Took care of the rest of my pre-op stuff yesterday. Now I just have to get through work today and tomorrow and then Sunday is Clear liquids and bowel prep. (Happy Mother's Day to me, right?!)

I would appreciate any positive vibes you can send my way. I have never had surgery before and I am starting to stress!

TIA!

Marcy, your almost there!!!!

It's perfectly normal to be stressed. I am one that went over all of the possibilities both good and bad. Definetely the good outweighs the bad!!!

Before surgery, I was hesistant and nervous that I would be the only person to be banded and NOT loose weight. Well, it didn't happen that way...thank goodness.

Happy Mother's Day!!! Shawn

Thanks Shawn! I am trying to turn my anxiety into positive thinking.:confused:

I have been keeping a journal of my lapband adventure. Someone on another list was wondering about our experiences on surgery day since she had never had one before. Maybe you would like to read mine. Read entry #7

Wow, Kate, that was really helpful to read. I am starting to feel much better. I think I can do this after all. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hope you have a quick surgery & a even quicker recovery!!

Marcy, good luck on Monday and you'll be home and recooping before you know it. I'm so excited for you !!!

It's only normal to be scared, worried, and excited. Just try to keep busy, it will be over and you will be in bandland before you know it. Good luck, and let us know how you are when you can.

I was banded 1 week ago. I've lost weight, feel alot better and am returning to work tomorrow. Believe me, I know how you feel! good luck tomorrow! it will be over soon and then onto the best part...losing!
