hi everyone!!! my name is alison...i am 28 years old...i was banded on 12/2 by dr. hanna here in las vegas, nv. i dont feel i have been very successful thus far and am definitely down in the dumps about it...i am looking for some sort of support...preferably here locally, however via email or phone would be nice too...most of my family friends are skinny so although they are supportive, i just dont feel they can completely relate to what i am going through...i hope to hear from some of you soon!!! take care and good luck to everyone on their band journey!!!

Though I'm not local to you, I noticed nobody has replied to your post yet, and just wanted to offer some hugs to you.

This is your healing period. Changes are taking place, and many people don't see them right away. This is the time for you to be gentle with your stomach while it recovers from the trauma it just experienced. Soon you will start noticing differences. It may not be a change on the scale right away, but possibly extra room in your pants and so forth.

Please don't be discouraged yet. You are already on your way to a successful journey, and I wish you all the best!! I hope you find someone nearby that can bring you some comfort. If not, there's lots of great people here that are always willing to listen!

Congratulations!!!

What do you wnat to talk on If you got your band you'r ready!!
