Everyone keeps asking if I'm nervous. :nervousI'm too excited to be nervous. :DI'll let everyone else be nervous for me. I don't have time for it!

Good luck to everyone. We're going to be just fine. We'll get through this together.:dance::gluck:

candle, I will be thinking about you on Monday. I go in at 7 a.m. and surgery is 8:50. I hope you are doing good.

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am on Monday. I'm not nervous either. I'm just excited that it's finally almost here! Good luck to all of you!

I will be joining the ranks Monday at 9:30 a.m. The only fear I have is not waking up after the surgery. Please pray for me.

Hi there! I'm with ya! Aug 27th! Dr. Juan A. Lopez-Corvala in TJ, Mexico. I am so nervous and so excited. I am fearful also of not waking up after surgery. I am a single mom of an 11 month old boy and am wondering if going to a foreign country is the most responsible thing to do. I've 'weighed' the options and all arrows go south... south of the border that is.

I am also nervous that my love for food will be taken away from me and I will be left all alone, on a desert island with just banana leaves and coconuts.

I wish luck to all and wish me luck too.

Hopefully all of us will give a nice update on here by next Friday. That would be nice!:whoo:

Dana,
I'm sure you have done all of your research and have made an educated decision based on your findings. Don't second guess yourself!I'm sure the doctor you chose has done many LAP-BAND^® placements, and for him is a routine procedure. You WILL wake up and you WILL be just fine! Have faith!
I really don't think banana leaves and coconuts are on our list of things we can eat! Seriously though, use your imagination, and also use this website as a guide for delicious recipes. If we create a recipe or even find one already posted that we like we can post it here for others.
Good luck to you and everyone else here. We will get through this together!

kathyc02@alltel · 08-26-2007, 10:38 AM

I didn't mention that I have to be at the hospital at 7:30, surgery scheduled for 9:30. :clap2:

claramae · 08-26-2007, 02:22 PM

Shelli--I will be praying for you. Have you ever had surgery and been put to sleep? Everything will be ok, I promise. You will be in good hands and also in God's hands. He will protect us all tomorrow when we go in for our surgery. I cannot wait to hear from you on Tuesday. We will both be August Bandsters!!!! Hang in there. Talk later,

Candle · 08-26-2007, 06:16 PM

I'm so happy to share this date with all of you. I'm hoping it will be a memorable and positive anniversary to celebrate each year!!

I look forward to comparing notes in the coming weeks and months!

Good luck to everyone.

I am envious you all have such early surgery times. I'm going to a nervous wreck all day tomorrow! 2:30pm seems like eons away!

LadyBudRed · 08-26-2007, 06:26 PM

I too have a late afternoon surgery time. To make you feel better, I have to fast tonight, leave my house at 6am to get to the sacramento airport by 7, fly out at 8am to arrive in san diego at 9;30. Drive over the border to TJ, Mexico and then go to pre-ops.... hungry! then have surgery in the afternoon. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

How will I survive?

I just ate my last meal. Sushi.

Everyone be sure and check in by at least Wednesday. I am sure that by that time we will all be able to sit up and take nurishment:cry(or liquids). Good luck to everyone. This will be a great group to take this journey with. I am not scared at all. I just want it over with. Talk later.

LIGHT ER NYC · 08-26-2007, 09:18 PM
