Surgery is at 5:30 am tomorrow. I hanging in there. It almost got put off a week, (seems the financing company didn't mail the check to the doc in time).. Thankfully I was able to get things worked out. I've been on Clear liquids today, needless to say I'm hungery. I have a few last minute questions.

1. I have a few laporoscopies before is the pain similar? or different. This is a higher up incision, so I'm thinking it isn't as bad.

2. Do any of you manage to take a "premarin" pill with the band. I have estrogen Patches I can use for the first few weeks, but I really don't like them as I react bad to adhesives. I keep looking a the pill, thinking it isn't too big.

I hope I'm not forgetting anything. I'm jonesing for some food right now.

I had never had laproscopic before but mine was a breeze. I had no problems at all and very, very, little pain and didn't need anything for pain. I take loritabs about 4 a day from back surgery and they're fairly large so I'd think you'd be fine. Good luck on your surgery.

I was really surprised by the low amount of pain, Ive had 2 c-sections and this was nothing compared to that, As far as the locations I have 1 sm cut in between my breast and bellybutton, 2 more sm cuts under my left breast, the port cut alittle left of my left breast and 1 more sm cut on my left side, they are not big at all, I believe the port cut is the biggest at about 2ins. Ive only used my pain meds for the first 2 days, then at nite so I can try and get a good nites rest. Im not a back sleeper so that has been hard for me, but I did sleep better last nite than the nite before.
