    Hi, My name is Samantha. I'm an alcoholic with 65 days sober and just got the band 13 days ago. I didn't plan this much change in my life all at once... did I mention I'm also newly separated from my husband? YIKES!!! Guess it's time to reinvent myself. I'm VERY involved in AA (I'm a retread) and stick close to my sponsor.

    Hi, I found this site pre-op and came here to build excitement, but am just now joining. I was banded Thursday the 29th (on my birthday!). I'm a overwhelmed by all that is involved, especially concerning eating. Any hints, tips, ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Also, I'm super bloated and having tons of shoulder pain (I guess from gas). I'm hopeful this works for me. Anyways, Hello to everyone. So glad to be here! Samantha
