I was banded on August 2nd, 2013 by Dr. Ginsburg. My journey started in November of 2012, with lots of hoops to jump through, but it was well worth it. The hardest part right now is getting a good night's sleep. I just can't get comfortable. Pretty sure it is my port sight that is keeping me up. Hurts to turn or bend. Doing ok with my liquid diet. Can't wait for the mushy's. Trying to not drink my protein shake to fast or too slow.

Wishing you well on your journey. Hoping you have good support from your PCP and surgeon as well as your loved ones!

Hi Tracy, welcome! I am pre-band, still waiting for a date and getting so much information and support here. Thanks for chiming in. I suffer from insomnia and know how difficult that can be. I use the time to focus on breathing and sometimes that puts me out again. Good luck!
