Good evening fellow bandits!

I am Marina and newly banded on 3/20/10! I am still trying to find my way in this new way of life with the band. It took me a while to join because I thoughtIi could go it alone but was I wrong! My friends and family are extremely supportive but they cant relate to what I'm going through. So I'm here seeking any advice you all can give.

Welcome, Marina! I'm your neighbor to the south-- in Bloomington! Be sure to post your questions in the post-op or general discussion forums, and you'll get advice or answers as needed.

I was banded a bit more than a month ago, and I visit this site often to ask questions or see what others are up to. You're right-- friends and family are supportive, but this is a process that they can't really "get." It's good to have friends-in-the-know! :bored:

Thank you for the reply!! I will be sure to ask questions as they come up or better yet to answer the ones my friends and family spring on me....lol I am taking this site in and trying not to ask the same quuestions that have been asked/answered already.
