Did you have the Lapland before? My date is may 28th as well and right now all I can think about is what it will be like this week. Good luck! Oh and you are making the right choice because by doing this you are prolonging your life for your daughter.

Yes had the lapband done in 2010

Thank you for the prayers.. I feel like I am but I guess the normal nerves.. my prayers are with you too.

I am also having a revision on the 28th :)

mine is the 28th also getting nervous too. Can't believe it is really happening!

My surgery date is May 28! I'm getting so nervous for it. Had to have my doc prescribe me Xanax because of the anxiety. 4 more days till I can start my new life!

Mine is May 28 as well!! Where r u getting yours done?

Any tips I can help provide. Drink water and produce urine. Make sure you get the urine in the catcher that is in the toilet. I just got home late last night from my Tuesday sleeve. Get up and walk around as much as possible. Shower as soon as possible. Bring some chapstick and biotin dry mouth gum' date=' music and something comforting from home. I didn't need slippers, nor did I pack them. I used the booties they gave me. Know your allergies and be firm with the nursing staff. For example, I am allergic to cicillians, and I can only take sulfates (antibiotics) the anastheiaologist gave me a cicillian anyways. I was in an alergic reaction as I was exiting the operation area. I pulled out of it. Later on that night my nurse tried to give me some again, I told her no i'm allergic, she said "well you already had some" and I said "yes and I had an allergic reaction".. The lady put it through my IV anyways, it didn't take 5 minutes for allergic reaction to kick in. These nurses assume that hives and itching are the only symptom of an allergic reaction. Also, use your pain meds. I didn't, but it would have helped significantly. When I did use them, it was better. Keep ice on your manipulation site, that will be the most painful location of the 5 incisions. Even once you are home, keep ice on it. Also, expect nausea and vomitting the first day or two. Doctor said people who get nausea and vomitting lose the most weight. I had my surgery Tuesday at 8am. I am already down 11 lbs and that is not including inches. It is already very obvious that i've had weight loss.[/quote']
