Will anyone be going to their banding apt. alone?

mstrina27 · 05-12-2008, 09:41 PM

Now a friend of mine said that she was going to go with me, however she just told me today that she will have to go to work for a training session. My cousin said that she would go but she has to take her mother to the airport @ 1:30pm and im not sure what time I will be released since it is out patient. So I will be going alone, I know my mother & my brother will be there with me in spirit, but is anyone else being banded alone?

I will be alone

...

I have done most of the steps alone. I pulled one of my friends arms to go meet the surgeon with me. But for the most part ... it's been allllllll alone! So I will drive myself to the hospital and hitch hike home I guess... LOL! Uh yeah NO home is an hour away

!

Someone will probably pull through at the last minute!

No hospital with an ounce of ethical responsibility will let you leave without an escort. I even had to sign something saying I would not use public transportation for 24 hours following surgery. This is major surgery, laproscopic or not and you will be under general anesthesia. So no, you will not be able to go it alone. Sorry!!

I have a husband, but I am one of those people that when I am under the weather I want everyone to leave me the hell alone. So hubby can drop me off and pick me up, but I want him outta my hair while I'm in the hospital overnight. Maybe I can send him to you??:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

It will be fine. I went to Mexico alone, flew home 4 hours and drove back from the airport 2 hours the next day. The day after that I went back to work doing massage. It was a cinch and I'm 58 years old so you won't have any problems. Gotta love yourself enough to hold your own hand.
Good vibes are being sent your way from all of us.
Blessings,
