I'm excited and scared. It's taken me awhile to get to this point, so I think I have everything I'll need for the next week or so. Any last words of advice?

I just wanted to say congratulations and Good Luck on Monday!!!!

Good luck!

YOU GO GIRLFRIEND! Remember, by the time some of us get to where you are today YOU will be a veteran!

Good luck and we'll see you in bandland!

Remember to take a small pillow with you for the ride home, it helped me!

Hello and Good luck!!

One thing that I didn't find on any on list was a body pillow for in bed!! I didn't have one the first night and that was bad. I sleep on my left side and that is right where my post is! I hurt to sleep on that side! Just rember that walking helps alot!! I did alot of laps in my bedroom!!

Everything will be fine. Just think it 's going to be day one of a new you, a healthier you. A body pillow helps and wearing the support helped. Let the docs know to be prepared if you typically have nausea after surgery. Phenegran is the key. Good luck and enjoy the day and the journey!

I will be thinking about you tomorrow! I remember how nervous and excited I was the day before.....but I was suddenly calm the day of surgery. We will save some room for you here on the loser's bench!

Sue,

I am sure that things will go just fine. Please keep us posted on your updates. I am still waiting for my surgery date, or my "new me" day as I call it. Wish you the best!!!

Hi SUe. I also have my surgery on MOnday. Good luck and I know we will both do great!

Hi Sue and JerseyShore!

I'm a Monday bandster too.

The pre-op diet is a biaaatch :thumbup:(I know it's worth it, but I can't believe how many people do this surgery and are able to function before the procedure!).

Best of luck to you and I'll look for you post-band :smile2:

Just go in there with a BIG smile on your face and say Bandland here I come! My surgery day was so exciting for me...and NO trepidation whatsoever. I was in good hands...I was doing something RIGHT for myself finally. This entire past year has been the most exciting year of my life! EVERYTHING has changed! This is literally the first day of the rest of your NEW life...embrace it!

Good Luck!
