Banded Friday 13th! Guess I'm not superstitious!

Just wanted to say hello everyone

I found this site the night before my surgery and it was a great comfort because I was feeling so nervous.

Have been reading it ever since.

Glad it could help! How are you feeling?

I feel pretty good. A bit sore still, but getting better each day. I am so delighted I went ahead with it - my problem has not been losing weight - I've always managed to do that, but it piles back on easily! I have around 106lbs to lose to get back to a normal BMI, Just hope the band will help me stay there!

I was banded on March 13th too. I'm doing well. How are you feeling?

I'm doing really well too. Amazed at how small the surgical incisions are. They have all healed well, bit of bruising around port site, that's all. I do still feel very tired though, but that might be the reduced diet.

I don't feel as much restriction as I thought I would but I suppose there's no fill in the band yet. I do feel some though - it's weird, I feel it a couple of minutes after eating, so have really reign in my usual speed eating!

How about you?
