so, i got banded on monday...specifically did it before Xmas so that would not be an issue to overindulge one last time... don't know what to expect. did not think the discomfort of the surg. itself would be as bad as it has been, but i'm ok. actually exercised a little yest. and this am. i'm soooo looking forward to finding the "me" that i lost once i put on all this weight.
