:blushing:Well first off, my name is Lynda. I'm just beginning my journey. I was banded on March 29th by Dr. L Tanaka in San Diegos Scirpps Mercy Hospital. I am coming up on my 1 mth but still not feeling too much restriction which I've read is pretty normal. I was feeling somewhat discouraged until I happen to come upon this site. I'm hoping to make some life changing choices and hoping for the support here.

I also had my surgery with Dr. L Tanaka, April 21...Everything went really well. I have my week post op Thursday. Looking forward to driving again hopefully he will release me on Thursday .
