I am same day surgery so only taking what I'm wearing, phone, ID and Ins card.

I have been on a pre op for 3 wks. I have to have my last "meal" between 4-6 pm and its has to be a Protein shake. I have to be at the surgery center by 7am. Not sure what time surgery will actually be since the nurse hasn't called me yet with that info.

I have had more surgeries than I care to count. So not nervous, but I'm sure as it gets closer I will be. Only concern is my liver not being small enough for the surgeon to be able to do the surgery.

Good luck and see you on the banded side! Only three more sleeps until its our turn!
