I was banded on August 2nd, 2013 by Dr. Ginsburg. My journey started in November of 2012, with lots of hoops to jump through, but it was well worth it. The hardest part right now is getting a good night's sleep. I just can't get comfortable. Pretty sure it is my port sight that is keeping me up. Hurts to turn or bend. Doing ok with my liquid diet. Can't wait for the mushy's. Trying to not drink my protein shake to fast or too slow.
