I m very excited to be getting banded on Thursday, may 15. My big fear is that awful feeling right as you wake up after surgery. What were your experiences like? would it be silly to tell dr. about this fear?

My experience, I woke up in pain and the meds they were giving me didn't do the job so they had to call the Dr. who checked on me and I told him to "get me out of pain or when I was better I'd hunt him down and show him real pain" it worked.... cause he gave me a shot that knocked me out, when I woke there was no pain. After that I never took any pain meds other than a bit of Tylenol at home.
