Idaho - Newly Banded 12/27- totally excited!!!!

[~Nan~ 0]

Hello everyone. I am so excited about this new adventure in my life. I had my surgery 12/27/07. I have been overweight since my high school years, but really put on the last 100 lbs the last 10 years of my life.

I have heard some of the ladies locally that were banded, and they've talked about being sizes 24 or 28 and now are in size 10. I can't imagine how it will feel to shop in a real store and not have to go to specialty stores.

This first week of being banded was slow (painful) moving, but nothing that I woulnd't do over 100 times to have the tools to do loose weight and feel human once again.

I hope that if anyone has any advice, or questions that they'll free to let me know.

Good luck to everyone else, and let's let the adventure begin.
