Hey everyone! I am 26 and I was just banded on 2/16. I am looking for someone to talk to who understands what I'm going through. My friends are supportive, but it's different talking to someone who can directly relate.

Hey =) I was banded on 2/16 and I am just kind of looking for someone to talk with and support me through this journey. I am almost 2 weeks post-op and I have already had some struggles as far as wanting to be able to eat like I used to. This is something that I know I needed to do for myself, but lifestyle changes aren't easy.

I was banded on Feb 16 and I know EXACTLY how you feel. I was excited and nervous. It is really not bad at all. The first 3 days post op are when you feel the worst, but it gets much better very quickly. The worst part about my surgery was a little bit of shoulder pain that I felt in the first couple of days from the gas that they use during surgery. Good luck =) You will be fine!

My name is Katie. I'm 26 years old. I was just banded 2/16. I'm still in the very early stages so I haven't seen the direct changes yet, but it's very inspiring to hear what everyone else has to say. It makes drinking these protein drinks all the time totally worth it =)
