ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM BANDSTERS/ WEEK AND 2 DAYS TO GO

Reality is starting to set in and I am really going to have this. After 6 years of tryihg to have surgery and almost 35 years of being overweight,it is finally going to happen. I am getting over the shock of this and starting to focus on who I am going to begin my new life. Sugesstions from any recent bandsters? Tricia

Tricia, go over to the lapband board. You will find loads of support and folks in various stages of pre-banding. When I was getting close to my surgery date, I read everything I could get my hands on. I also kept my Dr.s orders to the letter. I did all the "getting ready" things like making certain that I had the fluids and meal items that the dietitian suggested. Also, get your prescriptions filled ahead of time. You won't feel like it later. Some pharmacies may need to order in things like scopolamine patches (for nausea) or the large bottle of pain relievers that you Dr may order. Good Luck jeannine

Thanks jeannine/ it is just nerves
