Hi there, I'm new to the forum. I am not banded yet. I will meet with the surgeon at the end of July and if all goes according to plan, my 6 months with insurance should be up in Oct. I'm so ready to do this. I'm so tired of fighting the "diet" battle. I look forward to reading your posts and chatting with you all and learning from your experiences. God bless you all.

Hi all,

I'm new to this site and haven't looked at chat rooms since I did research on them in college so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I'm being banded tomorrow and am feeling a little apprehensive. I keep running into others that have had the procedure and am hearing a lot about post op pain. I'd like to be prepared mentally for this so any info about waking up after the procedure would be greatly appreciated.

:lol:I've had 3 c-sections and the soreness goes away in just a couple of days. I don't think this will be as bad as the c-sections. I hope not because I've been chopped on enough. Ha. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes.
