Just a little nervous in waiting to go in for my band tomorrow morning. Not looking forward the the hour drive by myself.

Driving yourself? Is it a hospital stay? Mine was outpatient so I had to have someone with me, don't be nervous, I was so scared of the pain afterwards, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, remember to walk and take your meds:) good luck on the beginning of your journey ????

Good luck. Post when you can.

Try and take something like an Excederin PM to help you get a good night's rest. And, just remind yourself, this is something good that you are doing for you. You are going to be healthier and feel so much better. This is an absolute positive life change for you. Be safe on your drive in and let us know how you are doing.

Good luck! You'll do fine. Expect some pain and discomfort afterwards, but you'll get through it.

I'm 4 days post-op, so if you have any questions afterward, don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck to you!

Is there anybody who can drive you there and back ? You might be groggy, or in a bit of pain afterwards. Might not be the best for you to drive alone, and you may need someone to help you at home the first few days. Don't forget a chapstick and a big bottle of cool ( not cold ) water for the ride home. ( cottonmouth from surgery) . Good luck !

Wife is picking me up. Thanks for comments. Couple hours away.

Other than an Hiatal Hernia all went well. I'm thinking pizza as a way to deal with the pain.

I had a hernia too, as far as pizza goes, take pain meds and dream of pizza lol glad all went well????

Glad to hear all went well, don't forget to walk , rest and lots of fluids. The 1st few days were a little tiring, but by the 4th day or so I felt much better ! A daily hot shower and hot tea help alot. Good luck !!

Glad to hear your surgery went well!
