Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and have lots of questions but won't ask all now.

I am curious with so little food going in how are the bowel habits? Are they normal?

Also was anyone scared going into surgery not because of the banding but because of being put to sleep?:tongue:

I hate, hate, hate general anesthesia.......I talked to my doctor about it ahead of time, she gave me some medication to take the morning of the surgery for nausea and apparently she talked to the anesthesiologist because he was very prompt to give me something wonderful to relax me....it was the easiest anesthesia I've ever had.....not one SECOND of nausea and just a little of the 'wake up' anxiety that I usually have...

Talk to your doc about your concerns and they can be addressed!

Good luck!

i had to start using benefiber. it's helped keeping me "normal"!
