Hey all of you getting banded on the 12th, canadiangirl.ca, heavyhevicyndi, beekay, Imdowdy, Me (aka Kellster), and whoever else... Here's our spot to share our surgery stories. :thumbup:

I just keep thinking - at this time tomorrow I'll be up and walking around the hospital, with five lil incisions and a silicone thing in my body! WOW! :frown:

Looking forward to hearing from all of you, as well as sharing my own story.

I'm pretty sure stuff was given before I came out, and then when I actually did wake up I felt like I was going to puke, they rushed and got the stuff and put it in my i.v but still felt like I was going to puke, gagged a bit and then all I did was burp up the gas thankfully. What gets me though, when I thought I was going to be sick I kept saying "I can't throw up, I can't throw up" lol all the while I was still half drowsy so I probably sounded like a moron lol. But as soon as you say you're going to be sick I'm pretty sure they'd rush and get the proper meds, they know that you can't throw up straight after the band so they would more than likely do anything to prevent that. Thanks for the comment as well and good luck with your surgery, 6 days left, excited/nervous much?

I thought the pre-emptive meds were designed to prevent the "OMG, I'm gonna puke" moment in the recovery area. :cursing: Thanks for the reassuring info, though.

Oh gosh, I am so excited and ready!

Keep up the good work, kiddo. :cursing:
