Hi there. I'm Tina. I was Banded last Thursday. I've been wanting this done for years and was going to have it done almost 6 years ago, but then there were family issues to take care of, then with a change in jobs came a change in insurance, etc. Regardless, it's done now! I had it done at UPMC Magee in Pittsburgh by Dr. Courcoulas. She's amazing.

Thank you for having this group. I'm very happy to have found it. I do have some questions, mostly about pain and pain medicine that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

Welcome and Congrats on your surgery:)

Thanks, Mimi! I'm really glad to be here.

Howdy! welcome

I am from Pittsburgh as well! Got mine at West Penn though..
