I'm Robin and I was banded May 21st. I am so excited because as of today I have lost 16 lbs already! This sure helps to make me feel like this was all worthwhile. I was so worried that arriving at the hospital the day of surgery and walking in I actually said to my husband, "I think I changed my mind." And for a few minutes I wasn't kidding! So much anxiety, worry, and fear of not being able to handle not eating what I want when I want and how much I want! Pathetic right?

Well, I feel fantastic. The first two days after surgery were a litle rough. Not incision pain but muscle pain - I think from anesthesia. I have really had no hunger yet, although I know it's from swelling and hungry days are ahead of me. But I feel empowered now and I am ready to DO THIS THING!

I'm glad I found this site to share the journey with all of you!

Welcome, and congrats 16 lbs that's awesome!!!!

I have had doubting thoughts as I am still in the pre-op stage. It is great to hear enthusiasm and encourages me to continue the process. Thank you for sharing!
