I'm banded!!

Well I made it! I am now banded:thumbup: I had my surgery yesterday, April 26th and am feeling GREAT. I was scared to death because I've never had surgery before. Let me tell you it was a breeze compared to what I had worked myself into believing it would be like! I did ,later, have to go to the ER because I was having trouble urinating and got a catheter, but they said this was a normal reaction that some people experience after general anesthesia. Other than that I feel like a million dollars. I am so excited to start my new life. I am having very little pain.My wife :tt1:was banded exactly one week ago and is also doing great.

So if any of you are out there worried about the surgery, don't be. I can tell you that the expeience that my wife and had was great and worth it! Good luck to you.:laugh:

Yes I know I'm new to this and don't have all or many of the answers, but I' soooo glad I did it, and am looking forward to all the great advice we will receive from our fellow bandsters.
