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.

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.< /p>

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
