Had my surgery on the 15th and am recouping. Surgery went well. I'm struggling a tad with recovery because of shoulder pain. Looking forward to full recovery and a new life.

Congrats on the banding!! I am glad to hear you are doing well. I was banded the day before you and I am still suffering from the shoulder pain too. I am sure it will dissapaite soon and we can go on with our lives. The pain in the abdomen decreases significantly for me daily. I hope it continues!!
