Banded Tomorrow----way so nervous

Soooo....im scheduled to have my banding tomorrow......im am literaly so nervous.... first because im scared something will happen and i cant have it done. It was already rescheduled once b/c of the MDs schedule he couldnt do it. Well now I have done my 10 day liquid diet and today my bowel prep( omg...horrible). My surgery is Outpatient and im just really worried....not about the surgery but that something will happen or go wrong...Btw bowel prep sucks... i had to drink 32 oz gatorade with miralax in it...Made me gag with every drink!!! Is anyone else getting banded tomorrow? If so let me know how you do?

I get banded in the morning. Good luck to you. My pre-op diet lasted two weeks and wasn't too bad. No bowel prep, sounds like I should be thankful for that. However, I take Miralax a lot, it's the gatorade I don't care for.

Keep positive.

Good luck to both of you! I know you must be terribly nervous! I get banded in a week, and I'm nervous already. I'm sure you will be fine, though. We will all be thinking of you, as you are the first Mayo Banditos to have surgery!! We hope you will come back and tell us how well it went. There is a thread started called "Surgery Stories.":smile:

Jada, where are you in VA? I'm in No. VA.

Good luck tomorrow you will be in all of our thoughts. Be sure to keep us updated!

Is it to early to ask?? How are you doing? I hope all went well!

Has anyone heard how the 1st ones are doing?

Yes, two have checked in so far and they are doing well! :unsure: Go to the Surgery Stories thread to see their stories.
