Hi everyone, I'm Marcy,  I live in Bismarck and am scheduled for the lap band surgery on Thursday, July 12.  I'm starting to get very nervous, have never been put under before.  If there is anyone that can give me some advice about post op, would be great to hear from you.  Have a great weekend 

Hi Marcy! Welcome to the ND board. This is the most activity its had since I joined OH! Just let your anesthesiologist know you are nervous. I saw someone suggest requesting an anti anxiety med in with the anesthesia-doesn't hurt to run these things by him/her. My dh was so worked up, he woke up in recovery in the middle of a panic attack. my hospital gives you some drug that knocks out your memory so I have zero memory of anyone putting me under. Hang in there, you will be fine!  congrats on the upcoming surgery, make sure you let us know how it goes!! judi j
