My surgery is tomorrow (Monday, August 24th) at 11:30am. I'm dropping my daughter off for the first day of school and rolling to the hospital with my wife.

I'm not nervous about the procedure; my surgeon is the best, most experienced in the state. As with all surgeries (and air travel), my issue is control. I'm unaccustomed to not being behind the wheel in everything I do, so the notion of putting my life in the hands of an anesthesiologist is cause for some consternation. Once I wake up, I'll be fine.

See you on the other side!!

My surgery is tomorrow morning as well - guess I have the same concern about the anesthesiologist, but having mine in a hospital and staying overnight. So, I'll see you on the other side (banded) later this week. Good luck Amigo!

Good luck to you both. I have the same feeling about being put to sleep. It can almost cause an anxiety attack for me. But it will all be worth it. You won't regret it. See you in band land!
