Heya everyone, my name's Jess and I just got banded June 10th, 2010. Despite the initial expected pain I'm in, I'm definitely excited, and looking forward to talking and making friends through shared experiences. :frown:

Hi Jess. I'm Dawn. Congratulations on the start of your journey. I wish you much success. Try Gas-X strips and a heating pad if you haven't heard about that secret already. They help most people. Make sure you walk as much as you can.

We look forward to hearing about your progress.
