I am going in for my band tomorrow at at 8 am. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:omg: .

I am so nervous, and excited. I am of course nervous for the possibility of death:eek: . More so scared about the pain of recovery :sick . Truth be told I can't believe this day has come. I have been on this board for a long time and learned so much from everyone. I truly am shocked it is time:faint: . I have no idea how I am going to handle all of this. As the time draws closer all I think about is change. I know great changes will come but I am scared. Love you all and wish me luck. I will take anything prayers, chants, rain dance, white light, traffic lights, anything. Thanks all. hugs

How exciting! The wait is finally over! :clap2:

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Let us hear from you when you get home.

And stop worrying... you'll do great!

Good luck, hon. MsJoy says that her post op pain, on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 1.5. She never even opened her bottle of pain medicine. Just follow the doctor's instructions to the tee and heal. Don't worry about losing right now. Well....you know all the right things to do, so do them.

Wishing you all the best on a speedy uneventful road to recovery...

You'll do fabulous and then in a couple of weeks you can tell me what to expect. Just take it easy and don't try to over do anything. This is your healing time, so take it.

You'll be in my prayers and let us know how your feeling when you can.

Congratulations! Hope by now it's all over and you're on the way to a smooth and speedy recovery!

Sending prayer your way, you should banded and in recovery or your room as I was write this!

You say your more scared about pain & recovery. That is great b/c I bet you have very little or none at all. You're probably all done right now & talking up a storm saying " wow that was great & I feel a little worn for wear but not bad at all. Did they really do anything to me? Am I really banded?"

Hope your up & about quickly- walk walk walk walk & yeah by the way WALK!! CONGRATS!!!!

You guys are so great. Heres the thing. My doctor had to switch my date at the last minute. He had some emergency. So I am still not banded. I will be friday. I hope. This was hands down the weirdest day yet. Well still thank you, and if you could just think of me friday that would be great.lol. Thanks again all. hugs.

You'll do fabulous and then in a couple of weeks you can tell me what to expect. Just take it easy and don't try to over do anything. This is your healing time, so take it.

I agree - in a couple of weeks, you'll can tell me what to expect, too. I'm 28 days pre-op. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will be just fine. Sending prayers and hugs.
