Congrats on your band. Try to get a good nights sleep. I have no advice, as I am scheduled to be banded on 12/15/05. I do know however, that it can be scary to read all this stuff that "could" go wrong on here. Keep your head up and don't forget your reasons for wanting the band. For me it is because not getting banded, means definate and serious health complications in the not so distant future. Good luck to you. Nikki

Thankyou very much. I try not to listen to the bad things that people say. All I know is that no matter how bad any complications may be, they will never be as bad as the gastric bypass. I know I will be fine.
Are you excited??:)

excited, mental, scared, elated, you name it. I walked im my bosses office this morning crying and he you could tell he wanted to hug me. Instead, he told me about his wife's gall bladder surgery and told me that all woman are the same. They all over react. It made me feel alot better. He is so funny. Guess that makes me lucky. Yes, im excited. How are you?

I am doing great!! A little scared about this phosphosoda i have to drink in about 15 minutes. The nurse told me it's the worst thing about the whole process. But other than that, can't wait to start dropping the pounds!!:)

The phosphosoda is a bowel prep I had to take before surgery. Let me tell you, it was gross. It made me throw up and then I spent 2 hours in the bathroom.
It is a salin based laxative.
I will never ever ever take this stuff ever again!!!
Other than that, I have 12 hours to go until I am on my way to a new life!!!

#15 | | Guest |  Banded 12/13/05 And Feeling Great!
I was banded two days ago and feel great. I have only had to take advil (for some discomfort in my shoulder ..gas). I am so excited about this journey and feel very fortunate to have this forum. I had to jump through all the hoops for insurance however, once again I was lucky that it only took 2 hours for them to approve it. I guess it was truly meant to be. I will be looking forward to any replies/ encouragement. Thank you
