Surgery Tomorrow

Is anyone else having surgery tomorrow? I'm scheduled for 9:30 at GW Hospital in Washington, DC. I'm excited and a little scared. Good luck to all the January Bandsters!!!!:bounce:

Yep, I'm up tomorrow as well. I am a little nervous, but looking forward to getting through it to the other side. I have my bowel prep. to enjoy this afternoon. Surgery is at noon tomorrow and I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight, so I'll probably be more hungry than I am now! Looking forward to seeing if I've lost any weight during pre-op. Feel like I ought to be half-way to goal!

Hang in there and let me know how it goes for you.

Wow - I didn't have to do the bowel prep. Did you fast for the last two weeks? I've had nothing but Opti Fast protein shakes and bars. Good Luck Tomorrow!!!!!:whoo:

I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning as well. I have actually become quite nervous in the last couple days. Like Jim, I am very ready to be on the other side and just get started. I didn't have to do a bowel prep either. Yikes, no fun. My pre-op diet seems to have gone pretty well. This is day 10 and according to my scale I am down 9 pounds. We'll see what the hospital scale says tomorrow, but I'm feeling great! Good luck to both of you and anyone else being banded tomorrow!

Wow-- I feel so blessed! Apparently the only one with this bowel prep. thing. I've had 10 days of very low carb/high protein diet. Well, here we go...

I'm scheduled for tommorrow also (12:00 PM), I had a bowel prep....Its not terrible, but its not great either. I just had to do a low cab diet though for the last 2 weeks, so I'm not complaining.

Good luck guys, I have mine next week. I'm getting a little nervous, but I guess I am more nervous of what will happen if I DON'T get it.

Keep us posted on your recovery and results,

Jen
