I was banded on 7-23-12. I started the process 5-7-12. I have been on the site pretty much daily since April. This is a great site and very informative. I learned alot on here already. My process was fairly fast from what I've read on here. I'm happy I had this procedure done. After the port pain goes away I know I will feel so much better. Not to sound cliche, but I know if I can do this anyone can. The thought of the pre op diet sounded impossible at the time. I followed my docs orders to the t. I made it through and am on the way to a healthier lifestyle. Thanks in advance to those welcoming me. I plan to be a daily user for the long haul.

welcome to the forum, God Bless
