Hi Buttercup....

I'm 45 & have just completed my last test. I was already approved by BCBS & my surgery date is July 15. I've been a member for a couple months & it is very informative. Plus my neighbor had it done 1 yr ago & she looks great & just yesertday we were talking about different things that may or may not happen after surgery. I will be glad to answer any question I can

what's been the worst thing you can say about being banded, what's the best and has there been anything that surprised you (good or bad)?

Worst thing was waiting to get the band........:tt1: I got really scared up to the point of the day of surgery.

After the surgery.......it takes a good 3 to 5 days to feel better. I would do it again in a heart beat!

Got my first fill today and it did not hurt one little bit! :tt1:
