After countless doctors appointments and many nerve wrecking moments wondering if the insurance would approve my surgey, I am ecstatic to announce that on Monday, May 16th, I officially became a member of the banded community! I'm still a little sore but to me that's a small price to pay for the healthy road ahead. My daugther told me that as they were wheeling me out of the room to take me to surgery my last words were, "Healthyville, here I come!' I still can't believe that it finally happened!

Congratulations! I was banded Tuesday. This is actually my first post op post glad you're feeling ok. I wish the gas pain would go away!

Welcome to your new lives.

I've been blessed to not have so much of the gas pains that I've heard about. I have had very little discomfort in that area. My only troublesome area is right near my belly button. I guess that's where the port is located. If I bend the wrong way, it stings something awful. Congratulations on your band as well!
