Cassandra,

Trust me its a breeze, you'll take a short nap in the operation room, and then you will wake up to find yourself new person, a person who is going to lose all the weight, start a new life, become healthy, attractive, slim and SEXY...

Nothing to worry about, as a matter of fact I was soo happy as my operation time became closer, I was ready for the new (ME) to be born.

Best of luck, and again, Nothing to worry about:cool: :eek: :P

It'll be fine! I was so nervous and now I see what a huge waste of energy it was. It is no big deal at all. You will drift off to sleep and wake up feeling so much better than you think. Nothing scary! Remember why you are taking this step and that this is just a tiny part of the lifetime you'll enjoy with a healthier bod!

No worries!! I was banded today, and I'm feeling pretty good. Keep in mind you'll probably have a large dose of morphine when you wake up. I was out of the hospital by about noon today. I'm sore now, but it's like ab muscle sore, you know, when you do several situps etc. My doctor gave me liquid Hydrocodone, and it is quite nasty. It tastes like Robitussin (sp?)

Don't be worried!! I was so nervous this morning that my face was starting to splotch, something it has never done before. You'll do great. Just get plenty of sleep the night before, otherwise if you're super super tired, it's more difficult for the anesthesiologistto wake you up after surgery.

Best of luck, and tell us how it goes!!!

You'll do just fine. I'm on my 6th day post-op, and am feeling pretty good today. Port area is sore still, but other then that things are good.

I was banded on August 22nd. First few days you will be a little sore, but nothing major. I was nervous too, but I feel great now. Good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
