Oh honney, let me tell you, I was banded Friday Feb 1, in Mexico. On Sunday Morning Igot on a plane and wallked "miles and miles" through an airport then another plane, then more miles through an airport then drove 3 hours to home where I had to go to work to put a payroll out that day. After a C-section this will be a cake walk. Not bad at all. Just walk off the gas (the worst part) and the rest is gravey. I think alot of the fear comes from giving up out biggest comfort, (food), I did not realize how i depended on food to comfort me. I am now learning to love this little band of mine and I havent even had my first fill yet. Good luck
