Will be praying for you! Don't worry, all will be fine. I had mine the 22nd. Wasn't bad at all. Good luck on your journey!

Good luck! Keep us posted of your progress and let us know how your doing when you can.

It is harder than you think, but you are stronger than you think. I hope we hear soon that you came through it well!

I wish you well. I will tell you like another helpful poster told me: you will feel like you just went asleep and woke up banded! It's so true! It wasn't as bad as I thought. I was not all that sore. My worst part was the gas/ (shoulder mostly) pain. It will be worth it.

I was banded 02/29 and all is going well. My clothes are loose and I have gotten into some that WERE too tight!

Said a prayer for you!

Good luck to you, keep us posted as to how you are doing. I'm being banded in April and would love to hear about your experience. Take care.

Congrats and welcome:)

Wanted to let everyone know surgery went well. It was exactly like I fell asleep and woke up banded. More pain in recovery than I expected due to the trapped air. Good news is its already starting to resolve and I am still sore but I can tell that is getting better as well. The doctor said he had to repair a small hernia also so that may be the cause of the added pain. I consider myself a strong person and Im just gonna take it one day at the time. Thanks everyone for your thoughts!!

Glad it went so well! Congrats!
