matilda617 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi- Is it a requirement that I take a companion with me? I would like to but could come sooner if my husband stayed home with my son. Thanks! Leah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieB Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 You can go alone. You will be taken care of 100%. No worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBandster Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Lots of people have gone alone. I have to admit though - I wouldnt be able to. When I have the little pill that relaxes me before surgery, and then being under anethesia(spelling?) I actually am kind of out of it for the next few days. I dont even remember the day after surgery. Also - to be 100% honest....it was intimidating and I think it makes it a lot easier to have a companion...what about a friend?

RevyD Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I just came down by myself from Canada to be banded. It has not been a problem at all. Met people at the hotel who were being banded also and made friends quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi- Thanks for the response! How many times were you filled and why were you unfilled and did you go back to the OCC? Are you able to eat now? Have you had any problems with the band? You sound a lot like me- I was never huge but have gained a lot of weight recently. Sorry for all of the questions!! Curoius about your amazing success! Thanks- Leah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriBecky Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 this forum is a great place to meet people and bond before you go and have your surgery, we sort of become a band family... coming alone is perfectly safe, but its fun to have a band buddy there (and a shopping buddy!) on our forum you will find a place to post for the month you are coming in for surgery, try to find someone - or contact me and I can help you connect with others having surgery the same day you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
