    my surgery date was march 6, 2006 and at the time i was 355 pounds not happy and very ready to lose the weight. im 31 years old and my birthday is right around the corner. I've had my band for about a week and im very happy with it very hungry but looking forward to losing the extra weight. My husband is very supportive. My children and freinds are there and very helpful im having a hard time bending over and pickin up things below my knees but im doing good. Right now the worst pain is the hungry and the staples r starting to dry and itch. So movement for me is very limited but if this little dicomfort is something i have to go throught to get where i want to be then lets get it on.
