<p>Congrats to you on your new journey. I was banded on November 8th along with 4 other ladies. We all were in Monterrey, Mexico together and did not know each other. I was the first to go in and never had a worry. I have a high pain tollerance and did not feel any pain or discomfort. The other ladies that had the surgery with me all had different levels of discomfort but I do not think it was anything serious. We were all up and around the day of our surgery. Our surgery was on a Thursday and we all flew home to different parts of the US on Sunday. I returned back to work on Monday. I never have had any pain. I consider myself lucky. When we all left on Sunday they still had some discomfort but in hearing from them now (three weeks later) they are all doing well. Stay positive and you will do well. It is wonderful.</p>
