So I am scheduled for the first surgery of the day! Is that good or bad? I’m nervous about it. What was your experience on the time of the day for you??!

Both my band and revision to bypass were the first up. I don't see it as a problem because the staff has already been at work for a while prepping so it's not like you are going to get some bed headed nursing staff / surgeons strolling in without having their coffee yet to open you up and hope things go smoothly. They take it seriously, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

My surgery was at 5 am , surgeon and surgical staff were clear, bright and happy they actually clapped and cheered as they rolled me drug loopy into the OR, amazing experience.

I remember when I had my lapband surgery in 2010 I was glad I was the first surgery of the morning , no waiting around being hungry all day and the Dr. was refreshed so I liked the am better good luck!!!
