So surgery is tomorrow (6/25) for me. I am really nervous. Doesn't help that when I went for pre-op Friday they "forgot" to do the blood gas test so I had to go back yesterday. 5 sticks and a still numb thumb later they finally got it. They tried both wrists (one twice) and the bends of both elbows. The first one she got all nerves so if I move the wrong way the nerves start to sharply tingle all the way down my arm. Not a fun experience. I'm treating myself to a massage this morning to try and get relaxed somwhat, then gonna come home and finish laundry and last minute cleaning. By this time tomorrow I should be on my way in to the Operating room and on my way to banderland. Good luck to everyone having their band today and tomorrow. Lets work this together to making ourselves healthier. :thumbup:

Oh, a massage! I'm jealous! But, pre-op, you deserve it. The day before my surgery, and the morning of, I kept asking hubs if I was doing the right thing? Now I know, I did!

Enjoy the massage

I think getting a massage before your surgery is a great idea. It will definitely help you to relax. But, being a bit nervous before any type of surgery is perfectly normal. Just focus on the great benefits of the surgery and that will help you get through it.

Good luck and let us know how everything went as soon as you feel up to it.

Good luck with you surgery today! Mine is later this morning too. I am nervous but the encouragement from all the messages has helped!

It'd tha damn nausea that scares me!! lol I am such a baby when it comes to that. The pain I can manage but that nausea !!

I wish you a speedy recovery!
