Surgery tomorrow morning!

I am having my band to VSG surgery tomorrow morning and I just want it to be 24 hours from now and it will be over. I know this is normal but man, I was not this anxious and scared with the band surgery. I think a lot of it was kind of like having your first baby, you are scared because you don't know what to expect and with the second your scared because you know what to expect. Except with this, I have the added worries that I have scar tissue from the band, major organ getting removed, etc. So its not really the same thing, right?

The following is my post on my blog today. I thought I would share it over here also.

Hopefully any new followers will look back on my journey and realize that I've had a lap band Talk' target='_blank' style="text-decoration:none;">lapband surgery - March 2010

Jax, I wish you the very best with your revision surgery. I had RNY revision to VSG 3 wks ago here in Phoenix. Doing swell!! Still a bit sore, but not any grave probs with it at all. I don't like my preop foods now, and finding the sugar free stuff too sweet!

Bottom line is that you will have excellent care from doctors and nurses--your general health is good preoperatively, and I am sure things will go just fine. I had to prep longer for mine in order to shrink my liver but my dr said everything looked very good for all that had to happen during surgery. I came home from the hosp the evening of Day 3 on June 2nd. Surg date was May 31st. You will be fine--sending hugs and good wishes to you. :rolleyes: Ronda
