Hello. I was banded on 2-18-09. To me this was the beginning of a new life. However, confusion over the procedure (even though I've already had it) still hasn't left my mind. Should I have done it? Are the possible side effects worth it? Probably a little too late for that since I am now BANDED. I know that as time passes I will feel stronger, but I am a little weak right now so I guess I'm just unsure at this time. However, HELLO to all and I hope this site will assist me with all my uneasiness and questions. Thank you to all who will read this.

I have not met anyone who has truly regretted getting the band. Everyone has said they would do it again even with all their complications. And remember not everyone has complication.

If you are feeling "weak" you maybe a little anemic. Ya lose alot of blood with surgery. Take Iron and you may feel better in a few days. Don't forget you other Vitamins too.

Don't regret the band. Good Luck
