My name is Sarah. I was banded on October 23rd and had my first fill on 30th November. I am still adjusting to living with a band and finding it all a bit strange from time to time. I joined a gym and am being very careful about what I eat.
I started having some pain near my port (nothing serious just uncomfortable) and after some googling I found a blog called Chronicles from Band Land written by Catherine. Not only was it was amazing, incredible and heartwrenching but she was banded on the same date as me just a few years earlier. It was fate. I read her entire blog from start to end and then started on some others. From there I have discovered LBT (yes I am still getting used to this as an acronym and not thinking LGBT instead) and begun my own blog.
