Hi all my name is Tina. I am from Michigan, Metro Detroit area and became a bandster yesterday, 1/12/10. My surgeon, who is wonderful is Dr. Gazayerli of Troy. Along with getting banded I had a hiatal hernia repaired, boy was that news to me.

I arrived at the hospital around 10:30 am and the case in front of me took much longer due to some "issues" so I did not go in to the O.R. until 2:45 uugh boy was I ever frustrated! But all turned out well and here I am. I am sore and the gas pain has been living in my right shoulder since I got home last night, OUCH! But other that that I am doing good and looking forward to all of your support.

congrats, and if your recovery goes anything like mine the gas pain in your shoulder will be the worst of it. Best of luck on your new journey
