Maybe someone to give weekly updates or to talk to when we are having good or bad days. It's really hard getting support from people who don't have the band. I just got It 4 days ago... Let me know (:

Hi there. I was banded June 10th. Would love to have others like me to chat with.

Hi ladies, my big day is this fri the 21st & I'm petrified! I see you're all recently banded. Any last minute advice or tips?? Can you ladies please share how was your experience right after surgery & the first couple of days following? I'm so afraid of the pain right after!! Any feed back would be greatly appreciated! Hope you're all healing well & best of luck!!

Would luv to be a part of the discussion. I had my surgery Friday. Getting better each day but ready to feel normal again. Pain is gone but a lot of discomfort and just plain exhausted. Wishing I could fast forward a few weeks. Anyone going through the same thing?

I was banded 6 weeks ago. I too was scared of the postop pain, I had never had surgery before. But I felt good postop, went home within 2 hours of surgery. I took a nap and then started walking. Next day I was more sore but tolerable. I felt better when I was up and walking than in the bed. Walk, walk, walk! I did experience pain in my left shoulder about 5 days postop and continued for another week. Finally went away. I had a very good experience.
