Hi,
I was banded Septermber 29, 2011 and had a great experience. Unfortunately I was not scheduled until 2:00 and even then got a late start because they could not find a vain to start the IV. I was in no pain and have not had to take any pain meds. I also am excited to begin this new journey. I am glad to hear you had such a great experience too. I wish you all the best.
