I'm writing this on Tuesday evening...surgery is first thing tomorrow morning. I got to meet Dr. Cobourn today. You can just feel how positive that guy is...he's absolutely walking on clouds, he gets so excited talking about the band. Now here's one guy who's fulfilling his true calling! He is such a nice guy and he just exudes positive energy.

I'm not nervous yet...I wonder when the "breakdown" part will happen? lol

Here I go! Tomorrow I will have my band!

WTG Sunshine,

We'll be thinking about you and hope for you an uneventful surgery. Hope your pain level is low and you have no gas pains. I'm right behind you, my surgery is on Monday. I will defintely keep you in my prayers and sending hugs.

I'm right there with you, Sunshine! I check in at 9:30 tomorrow morning and will be in surgery at 11:40. I'm glad you liked your surgeon. I got a really great feeling from mine as well. He is best friends with my knee doctor, and my general practitioner knows him well, too. Good luck to you! See you on the other side

Congrats to you all and best wishes from Ohio.

All the best for tomorrow CanadaSunshine. Dr.Cobourn is very nice and very good at what he does so you are in good hands. I had my surgery on June 23rd and have done great. The first weekend was the toughest and now I am just a little sore at my port site. How long are you staying in town after the surgery?

Good luck Sunshine!!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!! Let us know when you're all done.

No breakdowns, you'll be fine!

I was banded my Dr. Cobourn on the 14th of June. I had no problems with water/liquids post surgery, I could feel ice cold Water go right past the banded area into my lower stomach. You know the feeling when you drink something really cold and you can feel it going down? So I didn't have to just drink small amounts slowly sipping, it just went through as normal, so I could drink regular amounts regularly. The best to you! I'm sure it will go great!
