  1. How was Dr. Brown? I have had a bad experience with him. Just wanted to see if eveything went okay...
  2. I am wondering about other experiences with infection of a lap band. Mine seemed to take along time to surface, but was extremely scary and costly. The surgeon denies that it was from the procedure, but I, and a few other doctors, know that it was. I am considering suing, and want to know if anyone else has done so successfully. Please comment!
  3. Tomorrow will be one week post op. Still so restricted, I can barely sit without feeling like I need to rip off my bra from strangulation! Supposed to go to PF CHangs tonight for a shower. Don't want to go!
  4. I waas just banded on Nov. 9th. Still feel very tight and uncomfortable. Just had first bowel movemet in 10 days! Pebbles, I know, TMI, but had to see if this is common? When can I start more solids?

    I envy you! I have felt invaded since my surgery on the 9th. Feel so tight, like I need to burp all the time. If I do burp a bit it hurstd like hell. Same with a hick-up! 2 nights ago, rolled over on my tummy while sleeping and thought I ripped inside stitches. Agony! Got up to check and proceeded to get dizzy, and passed out on bathroom floor. Very scary. Still feel aweful. Will I ever be able to play tennis again??
