I've been reading posts on this site for quite a while. This site has been invaluable. I'm writing my first post as I sit in my hotel room in San Antonio, TX. I was banded on Friday by Dr. Rincon and I'm headed home to Oregon tomorrow. Yippee!!

All has gone well, however, like many other new banders, the "burping" saga begins-small price to pay I think .

So when do actual dreams of eating real, solid foods go away? I can't remember the last time I dreamt of eating and the last two nights since my surgery, that's all I did-Too Funny !

Congratulations and welcome to the site! I will be banded in two days, and I can't wait! There is a forum for those banded in July. Come visit. We have named ourselves the Freedom Fighters (with the July theme). Feel free to join in as we support each other.

I will absolutely head over and join the Freedom Fighters.

Best of luck to you tomorrow! It'll be great! Exciting times ahead.
