Whitney, you'll find a lot of support on this forum. I haven't been banded yet myself. My date is 2/19. Do you know when you will be banded? There is a February 2013 Bandsters group. There are other groups that you might fit in as well. I've learned a lot by interacting with people on the forum that know a lot more about the procedure than I do. Feel free to PM if you'd like.

Whitney welcome. You will find bunches of support here. I'm made some dear friends here.

I would be happy to support you, answer any questions and just be there when you need. I've been banded a year and I'm at goal.

Add me as a friend, read my blog and pm me anytime.

Good luck on your journey.

I felt the same way in the beginning, but I just started interacting here on the forums and feel very differently now. I was banded on January 30 ( less than a week ago) and the few days before and after were very hard for me emotionally. I felt alone, scared, and I don't know anyone personally who has been through this that I could call. Each time I felt that way I logged on here and left feeling better. Everyone here is so supportive and helpful. I feel like I am part of a little community or secret club...lol! Just keep posting and reading and I am sure you will find great comfort here. Feel free to add me as a friend. I am on here quite often and love to talk. Good luck on your journey!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
