You will do great!!! Its really not bad at all, and the outcome is well worth it!!! I wish you the very best! Stay positive and all will work out fabulous!! I got banded in Nov/11 and it was the best thing I ever did... I am already down 40 pounds and its only been a little over two months.
Keep me posted on your journey, I will support you all the way!!!
Good Luck darling!!
