welcome aboard, I was banded on 3/20/09 so hello and nice to meet you.

Hi, Wendy!

I was banded on 3/23 as well. How are you feeling? I found this website very helpful and informative too. Best of luck to you in your journey

'cause that's the day I had my surgery too! Had my first follow up since surgery today. Doc said my incisions looked great and gave me the go ahead to go to the soft, moist food stage. Definitely ready for some variety in my menu.

Had planned to be off work for 4 weeks but the way I'm feeling think it's going to be a lot quicker than that.

So, hello Wendy and all the other March 20 something other bandsters!

Congrats on your surgery and on the way to a healthy new you. What an exciting journey you are taking. I am just starting the process myself. Go to an informational meeting 04/01/2009. So you can inspire me as I go through this.

Again welcome and congrats on your banding.
