My name is Diana and I am thinking about being banded. I have been thinking about it for a year. I have read books, read forums, and am talking with my family about it. Just wanted to introduce myself.

Hi Diana. Welcome to the message boards!

Long2BFree... have you been banded already?? How was it??

Long2BFree... have you been banded already?? How was it??

I'm 8 days post op, being banded on July 17th.

The surgery went smoothly. I ended up having extra scar tissue removed from my gallbladder surgery and had a hiatal hernia repair so I had a little more pain than I expected to experience. I'm now feeling about 80% back to normal... still dealing with getting tired easily. I haven't really dealt with any hunger at this point but know it's coming once my swelling goes down. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
