Topic: RE: okay what are you....
Hi Amanda,
As the others have noted, just hand in there. It will happen and maybe quicker than you think.
As for what I am taking? Very little to be honest. I will take a change of clothes, some lounging pants, and a tee shirt. I have a feeling that I won't be in much condition to read or mess with my laptop, so I will just leave that home. Assuming all goes well, I should be home after the first night or two so I think I will plan on sleeping and walking and healing. Beyond that I will just enjoy any rest I get.
While my wife is taking me to the hospital, she has to work that night, so apparently, I will be pretty much on my own the first day.
As for when I get home. I am stocked with my vitamins, juices and protien powder. I hope to get back to my laptop pretty quickly so that will be handy. I also have a couple of books to catch up on once I am home.
Keep your spirits up and hang in there. I got my date about a week ago and it seems like life has shifted into high gear trying to get everything done.
Take Care,
Dave

Wow....best of luck to you. I will be 3 days behind you with my procedure.
One of the patient advocates, at the practice I am going to, had a banding revised about 3 years ago. She commented that it was like trading in a go cart for a Porche.
I will be thinking about you on the 12th. Take care and keep us updated.

Oh boy! Another wood neck 
We made the right decision by taking control of our weight. Don't even look back. Keep your eye on the prize! I'll say a little prayer for you on the 23rd of March. You'll be finer than frogs hair. 
I'm hoping to be a "Marcher" too. We'll see. Stay in touch.

Topic: RE: Anyone else getting nervous?
I am so glad I am not alone!!! I have been trying not to think about the negatives, the last few days. I don't want to be nervous, so I try to focus on all of the positives that will be coming my way on the other side of this surgery. I can't wait until the day after my surgery, when i won't have as many fears, then I will just deal with what ever comes my way. Hopefully everything will go smooth and I will just be working on healing.
Thanks for the support
