Hello all. I know should probably be sleeping right now seeing that I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. I am so nervous. This has been an almost two year process and it's finally happening. No more playing off the heavy girl jokes and laughing along no more panting for air because you can't walk up the steps at work I know it will not be easy but I am so ready to begin this amazing journey. Wish me luck everyone..... I just don't know how I'm goin to sleep tonight

No worries, you'll get to take a nap for an hour or so around 5:30 am tomorrow

Check back when you're on the other side, K?

Your life changes in mere hours. Good luck!

You'll do great. We'll be here when you wake up:)

I've been banded for for days. I couldn't sleep either.

Good Luck to you today. Although you don't really need it as April 16th is a great day for surgery!! Today marks my 2nd anniversary

Hey there, congratulations! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

It's a breeze Bibi(heart)...you'll do great!!! Will be thinking about you today!!!

Congrats Jim1967 & Relief57

Hello everyone. Well I am on day two of being banded and it hurts like heck!!!!!! The doctor said surgery went well but I hate being in this uncomfortable weird pain I can't tell if I'm hungry or if it's gas pains. I know the doctors said walk as much but my body hurts so bad i just want to sleep

Bibi<3 you need to just get up and walk a bit in the house, but rest as much as you can sweetie...make sure you are sipping on something all day, okay!!! take the meds that were given to you...for the first few days and the pain will ease up. Let me know if you need anything...best wishes.

Definitely move around to get the gas out. It should be all gone by day 4 and you will feel much better! I made sure to take my pain meds like clock work and I wasn't shy about asking for more when I ran out because I was still in pain

You are so right I'm on day 4 and I feel so much better I think I'm kinda gettin the hang on it now. I stepped on the scale just to take and peek and noticed I lost 5 pounds since Wednesday. I am so determined more than ever now to keep going with guns blazing. Thank you all for your kind words and great advice ❤️

Congratulations on your surgery -- glad you're feeling better. The walking as much as possible really does help with everything. Best wishes!
