This is totally normal. Be kind to your self. It takes time to find the right fill point.

I had to pay about $20 extra. I had my best friend and my stepmother with me. We only needed drivers license. GOOD LUCK!

I am getting my surgery done on Tuesday of next week. I can hardly wait but I am nervous too. Questions: (1) What are the must have items? I read them several times but I was far out from surgery so I just ignored it. (2) How long until I get energy? This is one of the most frustrating things for me right now is that I am so tired. (3) I keep reading about people saying to walk after surgery that it helps with the gas. I love to walk. I have two dogs that love to walk. When will I be able to walk them around the block? Thanks! lins12

I have been so excited about my surgery. Since I first started researching the lap band I knew it was for me but as the date gets closer (June 6) I am getting a little nervous and am hoping the answers to the questions will relieve some anxiety. How was the anaesthesiologist? Did you feel comfortable with him? Does anyone know how close is the hospital to the facilities? Is there a, I think you call them, crash cart in case anything goes wrong with the anaesthesia? I think this is the thing I am most concerned about. Also, how close is the facility to the hotel? Thanks so much for any informaiton you can give me to soothe my nerves!
