I agree with Brian, don't worry, it's not painless but you will feel better every day. I was banded on 10 september and stayed in hospital overnight. On the 11th, I felt a bit rough but slept for most of the day and the next day I felt quite a bit better. Other than pain in my upper abdomen where the wounds are(I have 5) I'm fine now. the wounds pull a bit if I move about too quickly - but it's worth it!!!:thumbup:

Hi angelfizz Can't wait! I'm a bit nervous about afterwards but am convinced I've made the right decision. My aunt is coming with me, she's only 8 years older than me - more like a big sister but skinny!! I'd love to keep in touch - you'll be one week ahead of me and a pro by the time I go in next week. Good luck for Friday - hope everything goes well and here's to a slim, healthy future Shaz x
