Newly Banded

Jill_S · September 22, 2005

Greetings :rolleyes:

My name is Jill - got banded on Monday 9/19. I'm a little sore still (better than yesterday though) and even coughing isn't so bad. I'm trying to stay off the pain meds today, we'll see how I do

My weight problems have been lifelong, and while losing weight was never a problem, keeping it off was, and the band for me, is my last shot at doing it *right*. I see my father and my aunt - 65 and 67 years old - so morbidly obese, and at 40 years old, I don't want to head down that road.

I hope to participate lots here

Welcome to bandland. I'm in the same boat as you, have been able to loose weight but never could keep it off.

Welcome, Jill, Bjorkturf, & Wonderkidsmom. I am fairly new to this also. Being scared is normal. Just take your time, and everything will fall into place!
