Good luck! - I'm being banded on the 8th too! -If your anything like me you will go through a range of emotions.

Today I started the day incredibly nervous and now I'm looking forward to it. See you on the other side.

Foxy.

I know how you feel. I was 10/2, 10/9 and now 10/11. The hospital bumps elective surgery by priority surgeries. I am okay with it, once I got approved I am so much more relaxed about it. Now, if they continue postponing then that may be a different story because I don't want it done near any holidays. It's bad enough that is now a week before my vacation. But this comes first so I'll just have to relax more on vaca than planned. Good Luck and hopefully this will be your last change!

Thanks for the support ladies, i just want this over with, so i can start on the NEW ME!!!, best of luck to you both, God bless

I was scheduled 9/25 and got bumped to 10/2. Then the nurse told me it may have to be 10/9 and I LOST IT in the office. I see you are going to Dr. Carter as well... I know he was out of the office the week of 9/25 for "personal reasons" so he may be having a hard time getting caught up. When he came in to see me before surgery he had a neck brace on! He said he'd had a minor neck surgery, must have been those "personal reasons"!

One my surgery day was nailed down the time changed 3 times... 2:45 then 1:00 then 10:45. The day of, at about 10:00, the anesthesiologist (I know I spelled that totally wrong!) came in and said they were running late because he had overslept! So my 10:45 became 12:00. All in all I was home by 5pm.

You have the right attitude about it...keep your chin up!!

Hi MistyDTX,

Well at least i know what to look foward to, thx. I went for my pre-op on thurs the 4th, wow, i didnt expect so many people in the waiting room,Dr. Carter had a band aid on his neck on thurs i was wondering what that was for, now i know. How r u progressing? i hope your pain has subsided( i can't spell either LOL,LOL) have you weighed yourself yet? Well thanks for the info,keep in touch

My pain is a LOT better now! I didn't take any pain meds today at all. I haven't had pain from my incisions, just that gas. I've been using a heating pad and walking for that. If you can find one, get a ice bag for your incisions post-op. I have looked at WalMart, Target and Walgreens and wasn't able to find an actual ice bag so I've been using Ziplocks! They work but eventually leak! LOL!

I have lost 3.5 lbs since Tuesday AM when I weighed. They didn't weigh me at the hospital so I am just going by my scale at home.

If you have any other questions let me know! PM me or just post and I'll find ya!

I just found out I was rescheduled from the 17th to the 16th. At least it wasnt later I guess. They said my insurance wouldn't cover it at the original location and that I needed to go to another day surgery center...OK, I guess...
