CallMeJim

Surgery is at high noon. The hospital is about 100 miles away so DW and I will be leaving about nine. They want me there at 11, plan to do surgery at noon and they said I should be on my way home by 2 PM. Hope it all comes off that smoothly!

I slept pretty well last night and am not nervous at this point. It's odd. I started this process almost seven months ago and thought it would never get here. The pre-op diet and bowel prep. are behind me (glad for that) and I'm eager to move to the next phase. I'm also anxious to find out if I've lost any weight over the last 10 days! I exceed the capacity of my home scale (another humbling experience) so I only weigh at the doctor's office at this point.

Well, sorry to ramble. Lots of us getting banded this week. Keep those prayers going! I trust things will go well for everyone.

Jim

Hope everything went well today! I'm sure you lost weight during the pre-op because you seemed so compliant with it! Looking forward to hearing how you're doing!

I'm getting banded next Monday (1-14-08) i'm a nervous wreck! I am so afraid I'm almost ready to back out. It's getting worse day by day, I figure by Sunday i'll need to check in to a mental institute.

Good luck! Sounds like the plan a quick turnaround. I bet you'll be happy to be able to recuperate in your own bed!

Good luck!
Nine, I'm being banded the day after you. I'm also nervous, but more nervous about what will happen if I don't do it.
It will be worth it, I promise.
