Hi everyone! Just stopping by to introduce myself. I'm a 36 year old female living in the desert, LOL...Arizona. I've been on the fast track with starting the process the middle of July, and a surgery date of August 19th. Can't believe how quickly this time has come. I've experienced all types of emotions at this point, anxiety, nervousness, excitement. You name it, I've gone through it. Will just be glad when I get to the other side and this part is behind me.

I look forward to getting to know others on here. I believe a good support system is what helps people be successful.

Let's do this and win!

It's a small world !

Congrats on the NEW BIRTHDAY ! & THE ANNIVERSARY !

Sounds like a party to me...

:nopity: :party: :party: :seeya:

hey! How's everything going for you? It's been a little rough around here... Not going to lie. My surgeon left 2 cc's in my band the day of surgery and according to him im the 1% that gets post-op swelling. So late last night I called him because it was difficult for me to even swallow Water.. So I went in bright and early this morning to get my Fluid taken out. It's still difficult to get fluids down but I'm just drinking slowly and trying to walk a lot?

How's your gas pains? Mine are getting a little better, I hope. I'm just walking a lot and using the heating pad and also taking several showers a day. The warm water feels good on my shoulders.

Anyway...sorry to complain so much! I hope youre doing better than me! I'm sure i will be feeling much better in a couple days. :-) hope you're doing well!

Hi hope all is well would love to keep in touch we got our band the same day. I live in phx also don't see alot of support groups so we could support one another as well with the other banders that lives in Arizona. Good luck
