Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I am new to this forum and will be getting banded on 8/20/08. I am a little nervous. I will be going by car 600 miles to have the banding done and will return in three days. Does anyone have any advice for me? Anything I should take along. What is the discomfort level afterwards? Also i am not too computer or internet saavy, and might need help navigating the website! Thank you!

Hey there and welcome to the board! This is a great place to learn all kinds of things to help you out! Has for such a long care ride home bless your heart just bring everything you can to make yourself comfy. Pillows, blankets. If you are waiting three days to travel home hopefully it won't be to band. I know of many on here that went to Mexico to have this done and flew home right away! Good-luck to you!

Thsnk you for the kind words! I just hope it all goes well.

Hi. I am new too. Are you from New Mexico? Where are you having your procedure done? Maybe we can be buddies. Good luck to you!!
