I heard back from the doctor today and I get banded on December 20! Anybody else too?

I am excited and nervous- I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm going out with my boyfriend for dinner tonight

Hi,

Congrats I'm scheduled for December 20th as well. Best of luck let's keep in touch!

Only 7 more days guys!!! Isn't that exciting. Good luck

Good Luck -- 21st here!

I am getting banded on the 20th too :confused: I am nervous too- Not sure what to expect!

... never mind.

My date got canceled last minute. They called me at 10:30 last night to tell me not to come in at 6:00 am like they had planned

I feel like crap. It's because my father had a bad reaction to anesthetic and nearly died. Now I might have to wait up to a month more for my banding.

What a horrible let down! I think I would have been too upset to even get out of bed today! We're here for you if you need to talk/vent/scream. Let us know about a rescheduled time.

Oh- I haven't.

The doctor said he would call at 8:00 am this morning to discuss planning another, but no call yet ...:faint:

:clap2:had surgery thursday.. Got to see the band this morning as they did contrast x-rays before they would let me drink anything...It was very different to see that wrapped around my stomach.

I am uncomfortable and getting up and down isn't much fun but other than that I am doing oK. But then again I am sure the morphine they were pumping into me helped out quite a bit.

I have gas-x and peppermint tea to help out with the pressure..

My shoulder hurts but from reading on here- it is just gas.

WIsh me luck ladies and I will catch up later this week when I am little better.

Congrats! Please post your progress as my surgery is on the 28th and I try to read as much as I can from the post-ops. I hope everything goes well from now on!
