Hello all! Well today is the day! My surgery is at 7:30 CST! It is 4:20 am here and I am up and getting ready to leave in an hour! I have to be there at 6am. I wish everyone well that is having surgery today! And for those newly banded I will be one of you shortly!

I will email you on the other side!:rolleyes2:

Good luck Becky - I'm sure that everything will go well and hope that your weight loss journey brings you happiness.

I will you keep you and all others having surgery today in my thoughts. I wish you all a speedy recovery.

Congratulations and Good Luck! I will be thinking of you today. Save me a seat on "the Band wagon". You will do wonderful!

Good luck Becky! I just said a prayer for you and your surgeon. Let us know how you are doing.

I am so happy for you. Good Luck, I am sure everything will go well. Your new life begins today. Take Care!

Thanks so much for the well wishes! I finally returned home around 3:30. I don't feel too bad,just very sore! The only thing that concerns me is that I am able to drink more than I thought I would (about 4oz). That kinda worries me. Is that normal?

Best wishes! I have you in my thoughts.

Everyone's restriction on the day of surgery is different. I understand that as women, we tend to have less restriction right after surgery. I can't remember why, but you are probably ok. If you are really concerned, call you doctor's office and ask. I hope you feel better soon!

Yay, Becky!

Definately call your Doc about your restriction (or lack thereof), get lots of rest, and let the rest of us know how you are doing...

Hopefully I'll be joining you shortly! :smile:

So happy for you, Becky....your on your way:thumbup: I'm so jealous!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery...can't wait to join you in band land!

Congrats Becky!! Your new life is starting today, I am not far from you in Columbia TN , congrats neighbor!
