I don't know how to encourage you; we all have difficulties learning how to manage our new Band....

have you read the various threads to see what others may be dealing with?

I know families need lots of training and education to understand the Band.

Good luck on your journey.

Hello Sana,

I am a muslim as well and have a lot of family in Turkey (some are Asian and some are European depending on which side of Istanbul you are on). I am living in the US. I don't think there are very many muslims here but now I know now that there are at least 2 :0)

I hope you are doing well. I was just banded in January so our surgeries are not very far apart. I have not shared banding with anyone (other than my husband of course). It has been interesting so far. I am not sure how things will go during Ramadan because fasting will be more difficult when you have special eating restrictions.

Feel free to send me a message at any time. Best of luck.
