Hi to All, I was banded yesterday in S.F. by Dr Cirangle. I was so scared. The night was alittle rough, but today I feel good. My stomach is sore but only feels as if I worked out hard. That's been years. Was anyone else banded yesterday? I would love to hear from you. My support group is very small. My spouse and son are the only ones that know of my decision. I come from a large Italian family:hungry: My start weight was 261 we will see how it goes!

Hi, I was also banded on 8/27. I feel pretty good, although my stomach muscles are really sore. I have been hungry off and on and miss food already.

Congrats to you both!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Welcome to LBT! Congrats and welcome to bandland to both of you!

Where was your surgery? I drinking some sort of Fluid every 20-30 mins to help with the hunger. The chicken Soup Protein powder has helped.

Hi I was banded August 24, 2007. Nice to meet you all! I too found the surgery harder than I expected, and today (5 days post-op) is the first day I have felt like I am going to "make it"
