Jakeshia, I know it's hard but try to relax. I had the lapband done on Dec 4th and it's not that bad. You'll be a little sore in the stomach area but no great pain. Just relax and it will be over before you know it. You'll feel a little crappy for 2 or 3 days when you get home and then you'll start feeling like your old self before you know it. I have no regrets. best of luck to you. I know you'll do fine.

When you wake up in recovery and they ask you your pain level just say 10! :-) Good luck!

Take comfy pj's to ride home in afterwards and a small travel pillow to hold against your stomach. I was so glad I had those 2 things with me when I got out of surgery. I had mine on 2-13-07 and was on some good drugs for a few days afterwards so I was feeling great. I also agree to just tell them you pain level is 10!!! when they ask that way you get the good stuff. Good luck!!!
