Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I am to be banded on November 11th. YEAH! I'm excited and rather nervous at the same time. I have been on this site now for a week and there is so much info on here I feel overwhelmed at times. Oh, by the way. I'm 35 yo and I have a young son. My surgeon is Dr. Snyder. I have been looking at getting banded for just a little while now but I I need this and I now know I NEED to do this. To make my quality of life better, to be a stronger person (inside and out) and to be the best at what I can be. So I will be asking questions proably to many to count and hope for the answers from my fellow bandsters. Because no one can really share this experience but someone that has been were I'm trying to get too. So thank you for this site. If no one else says it today, I really appreciate it.
