    I was so happy to find this site. I have been thinking about being banded for about 11 months now, and hve made my mind up to do it. I am going to go with Dr. Halpin and Dr. Eagon at Wash U. has anyone had any experience with them? I have so many questions about the surgery regarding everyones personal experiences. My biggest question is.......has anyone gotten sad not being able to eat as much? I come from a big Italian family and everything is centered around food, thus my problem. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that. Also, another question I have is, how long was everyones recovery? I have 2 toddlers so the sooner I am up and around the better. I had my gallbladder removed and 2 cesarians....what would ya'll compare it to? Jefferson County 280/ 135 goal
