New to the site and just banded

[dianesue99 6]

Good Morning all,

Just wanted to say I joined the site today. I was banded on 04/21/2009 and I feel I am doing ok. Had my gall bladder removed in same surgery. I have taken no pain meds since evening of 04/22/2009. I will spend a little time learning to navigate the site and setting up my page. Looking to meet new friends to share the journey with.

Hi there Diane

Welcome and congrats on your surgery. Sounds like your recovery has been fast and smooth.

I was banded on the 23rd April and am doing ok (touch wood!) too. Feeling a lot better now that I can have full fluids (milk, yoghurt, Protein drinks, smoothies, pureed Soups, etc).

There's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - in case you'd like to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time. It's a wonderful place for support.

Also, you've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.
