Banded!
I had my surgery on Tuesday, August 17, and all went well! Dr. A said I was a textbook case! He also said "it was a piece of cake" and his colleague, Dr. Tobin, said, "easy as pie"! They must think of different expressions! At any rate, I'm sore and tired but that's to be expected. I get up, do a few things and take a nap! I'm really looking forward to being able to move easier and enjoy playing with my children without it being a big ordeal. Thanks to all! You give so much support to others.
