Hi all,

I am all set to be banded on the 26th (the Monday after Turkey Day)! I am so excited! I think I have everything I am going to need after surgery. I went through the list posted on this site and got pretty much everything on there (except the toilet tongs, hopefully I don't regret that!)

I will keep ya'll posted!

Melissa

Good Luck Melissa! I am excited for you! You'll have to keep me posted on how things went.

If all goes well, I will be banded on the same day. We'll have to compare "battle wounds!"

I too am starting my new life on the 26th. So lets keep in touch and see how we make out day to day? It would be nice to have a buddy from the same day...:clap2:

Take care, Debbie

Absolutely!

Good luck Melissa. My surgery was yesterday. Take it easy when you get home.

Melissa - I bought the tongs and never used them for that purpose. LOL I think you'll be okay. Good luck!

okay are you all ready to go monday...have your list ready? clothes laid out, post op liquids ready, movies, books, meds, etc.....lol

I actually have a basket for all my post op stuff,,,,including my christmas cards to fill out while i sit here....laughing.

I am so ready to start, are you?

They are to make reaching one's nether regions easier when tidying up in the powder room.

thanks for that little informational tidbit. I am hoping I won't need those. And, tish, good luck on your future doctor visits. I'm sure they will have you rescheduled in no time!

candy8360, THANKS! I thought waiting for the surgery date was tough, but this is killer!

Anyway, I forgot to include this link in the last post. It is a thread that someone started in order to put together a list of items that people will need pre and post-op...including the tongs, te he he. There is a printable version somewhere as well, but I forgot where I saw it!

I found no need for the tongs. I was sore but not that sore. I'm glad that I have a bidet next to my toilet, though, so that I could use it to push up on in order to stand up!

Hey all! I'm going on Monday too! I was originally scheduled for the 5th but had to be rescheduled due to a severe cold.

I have most things from the list but I'm doing my final packing on Sunday.

I'm soooo ready to have this done and over with.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm starting my new life on Monday too!!! I am so excited! I should be cleaning the house but I am procrastinating. Tomorrow is bowel prep day....oh joy. Oh well one step closer to Monday. All the best to you Monday bandsters!!
