I also was banded on the 19th! Until today, the thought of eating anything made me grimace. I also drank too little. Well, today my appetite came back with a bang! I feel better and have energy & no headache! It will happen soon, just give it time! Good luck & congrats!

I used Dr. Miles in Birmingham. I realize that is a bit away from you, but I'm from Montgomery and I traveled. Look them up on Alabama weight loss surgery.com

I was finally banded yesterday! It seems like such a long journey, but it is finally here! It really wasn't bad. Long stay (wait) at the outpatient center due to Dr. being tied up in surgery & some paperwork that was MIA. Arrived at 9am and finally left around 6 pm. I mainly feel like I have been doing too many sit ups or been punched in the stomach. Able to walk outside . I have taken my pain med as prescribed for the first 24 hrs. I will try Tylenol later and see how that works. I am so excited to finally feel like I have some control over my weight! Good luck to everyone else! Shannon

I am new here and I am having my "birthday" Thursday! Can't believe it's here! Best of luck to you!
