Anybody else having surgery tomorrow??? Anyone having surgery with Dr. Averbach?

........ what time do you think I'll actually go into surgery???

Once the surgeon arrive it went fast but I didn't go in on time I was scheduled for 7:30 didn't see him till about 8:15 the rest was a blurrrrrr till a bit in recovery and then finally in my room.

Good Luck on your surgery tomorrow. Hope all goes well. I was banded on 4-16. I'm feeling great. My surgery was scheduled for 11:15. The doctors came in around 11:30 and then ended up having to call back to my regular doctor regarding my echo stress test, that took about another 15 mins. after that it was all systems go. They did not even give me a chance to panic. At least you are scheduled early in the morning:thumbup:. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks, Bee! I definitely will!

Hi Lilith, Tomorrow will go just fine I am sure! You probably will have a little delay between the time they say is surgery and when you finally go in. I know I had to wait a while in a "holding" area since they took people in a certain order. But I was relaxed by whatever they gave me and didn't care too much about waiting. You will come through it all just fine and each day after will get better and better. Keep us posted as to how it goes! Best of luck and prayers your way!

Thank you! I can't wait to be a Bunny Bandster! I also can't wait to be knocked out so I can quit worrying about it, lol. I'm waiting for dh to get out of the shower then we actually have to drag our monsters with us, ha-ha - that's what they get for still being able to have cookies! :rolleyes2:

So I had my surgery - it was an interesting day, lol. I was the first one of the morning, had to be there at 5:45am, surgery was scheduled for 7:45am - everyone was right on time, including the rash I broke out in from the antibiotic! So they had to replace that with another med and then moved alonged, I don't even really remember waking up, I remember that my first nurse out of recover had been banded and looked great! I felt sore, but not too bad. A little later my chest started to hurt from the gas build up so I went for a walk around the nurses' station, when I was finished my chest felt all better but my belly hurt. They gave me some extra pain meds which caused me to then have another allergic reaction - I looked like someone put a straightening Iron across my eyes, it was great! At that point they started giving me benadryl - I was taking the hair brush to my back!!! Man was I itchy... anyway, no pain meds for me from around 2am until 8am the next morning when my doc got there, he started me on pill form then. I couldn't stand being in the bed so I spent most of the time in a chair, I tried to sleep in my bed last night and ended up on the couch, I have to sit up to sleep. I did take a shower today, I hurt quite a bit after that... but trying to hang in and hoping it's going to be a lot better really soon! (hope, hope, hope) DH took the kids out so I could actually rest so I'm going back to resting now - I hope everyone else is doing well!

Oh, btw - I did have a hiatal hernia - not sure if that is making me more sore or not...
