Hi guys- I was banded on the 6th and am now home. I feel overwhelmed with emotions and start second guessing my choice to be banded. I can't pinpoint exactly what is bothering me...maybe its the anesthesia, but I feel anxious and scared. I know there is the stage of 'what have I done to myself' and I'm hoping this will soon pass. thanks friends:( Suzy

I no when I was banded "10/31/06" I felt the tightness of the band from the swelling. Next day had to do a swollow test to check for leaks. That was pretty hard going down, and some anxiety I think is normal.

But today,,, I would do it all over again! I feel great!! So give it some time. "Gee,I feel like a veteran here!!!" Any way you go bandster... Shirley...
