Up All Night???

Hi Friends!

I'm being banded at 6:30 AM tomorrow (Thursday), and I'm so nervous I know I won't sleep tonight!! I didn't have to start the liquid diet until today, and I have a horrible headache and I'm STARVED! Will I feel like this for the next 3 weeks?? How do you handle it???

    I will defer on the how to cope with it to the bandsters proper.

    Good luck tomorrow and try and relax as much as you can. I was a nervous wreck for my wife when she had it done but it will pass.

    Actually, for the first week or so after surgery, you will probably find that you really don't have much of an appetite at all. At least, I didn't. The headache will pass.

    Good luck with your surgery and let us know how you do.
