Hi Slim4son

Your profile gives little away so it is difficult to comment . . . what I would say is there will be no shortage of support and good advice on here. Like most things in life there are no ‘cast iron guarantees’ but the band is very affective and a wonderful tool (I am RNY, but have read masses about all surgery!) The first steps are the hardest and it is only natural to have some concerns ~ take care. Kevin

We all have been through those same fears and although it's not definately plain sailing, most of us have come through the experience a lot happier and lighter.
I would suggest doing lots of reading on here and mingle with us all and you will soon pick up the info you need and feel much more confident about this x

Hi there I agree with those above there is a lot of support and information to be found on this site, I found the diaries and the FAQ threads really helpful. I was banded on Tuesday night and am home in recovery now. I have started a diary called Mamas big band adventure that can take you through the op and the immediate recovery if it helps, but there are other diaries spanning the whole journey so far. Just take your time, take advice and do what is best for you. x x x
