I just got banded yesterday and am home with a toddler who is almost 2 yrs. old.  The good news is she requires me to constantly be on the move, which is good for recovery.  The bad news is the constant movement is causing me more pain.  I have always been a very active/daring person.  My weight has prevented me from doing many of the things I used to do like sky dive, scuba dive, bungy jump, horseback ride, roller coasters, etc.  I hope the surgery can help me regain my life.  The turning point for me was having a baby.  It saddens me that she barely fits on my lap because my belly gets in the way.  I also have difficulty with getting up and sitting on the floor...constant up/down.  Losing weight will allieviate the pain and allow me to interact my with my child.
