Hello, my name is brittani and im 22 yrs old. I was just banded on 03.10.11 and i feel i need to start off with a little help im really worried about making wrong decisions or doing something wrong. Im hoping someone out there can go along with me if im in need of some question answering because i dont know anyone else that has been banded. Im not in too much pain the worst for me was the gas bubble and trying to lay down, but im feeling alot better now. I would appreciate someone willing to email me or even talk on the phone to help me through this. Yes i have doctors but i feel if you dont have the band you dont really know what the feelings are. I do have a great support system but again i need someone thats been banded. Thanks Britt

Guys, Thank you all for your eagerness to support me its soo comforting to know i have help if i need it i really do appreciate it and fyi age does not matter to me at all friends are friends. Today has been actually a little bit better i took the top layer of bandages off and i just have the steri strips now im anxious to take a shower though, the gas bubbles still are driving me nuts im lucky i guess to say its not PAIN but its very uncomfortable. im not really sure how to IM people yet or send private messages lol so bear with me. The only thing i can say right now is its wonderful that i havent eaten anything solid now for 4 days and im NOT hungry. So...so far so good. Is there anyone in Mesa, or close that has been banded? That would be awesome but im soo thankful for you all for being here
