Its probably nerves, but I wouldnt take any more/other medication for it.

If you're actually ill, it will probably become evident by morning, and there's nothign you can really do, fingers crossed for you that that's not the case. It sounds like you're a bit wound up and probably are gassy as a result.

I am no expert, but my guess is a cross between nerves and hunger.

I know that feeling of "Oh my, is this a gas pain or is this my appendix/gall bladder/kidneys/liver/stomach/spleen/any other organ between my ribs and my hips!"

As simple as it sounds, just try to go to sleep and I bet you will feel better when you wake up!

Good luck tomorrow!

Its probably just your nerves. I cant tell you to relax, because I remember the night before my surgery...I was a mess! However, THE Garth Davis is doing your surgery...you are going to be in great hands. Good luck to you.

Yeah that is exactly my thought !!!!!!! I hope it is just nerves .:confused2:

I hope you are asleep by the time I responded to your thread. If you are still awake and reading posts in this forum then...GO TO BED! :embaressed_smile:

It's probably just nerves like others have already said. Good luck tomorrow, or actually later today. I'll be looking forward on hearing how everything went.

I get banded August 1st and I am sure I will be a nervous wreck the night before too. You will be fine once they give you some happy juice.

I was having the same pain and Just found out that instead of having my lapband surgery on Thursday I now have to have my gall bladder removed. Maybe its just your nerves if its something more they will find out tomorrow anyway. Don't worry , you will be fine just say a prayer!

Good luck with your surgery. Like everyone else has said, It is probably just your nerves. Right before my surgery, I had the same kind of pain and thought, "what a bad time for something to bother me now". I was afraid of having appendicitis or something else, but all turned out fine.

Let us know how it all turns out.

Sincerely,

Stephanie
