May 20 - I did it!

I everybody! I live in Las Vegas, and I got banded on May 20th. =)

The first couple of days were a bit hairy, but I actually feel really good now a few days out. Boy, all that gas they use to inflate you sure feels weird/bad, huh? LOL

Thanks for all the suggestions and tips, it's so great to read everything! :D

    Let me be the first to say Congratulations on your new band life. I can tell your spirits are high and that you are feeling pretty good. I go in for surgery in 2 days and pray that I have the same wonderful attitude as you. Again, congratulations!!!!!!

    Hello, Another May 20th bandster here. Glad to hear everyone is doing good. I am doing great today also. This forum really helped me to know what to do after surgery with the gas and port pains. Believe me, I have read it here a thousand times, and it does get better each and every day. congratulations on your band.
