  3. Hey everyone .. ( this is tmi warning ) : / I like many others have a problem with my stomach hanging down and causing a painful , hot rash . I haven't even been banded yet and I've heard once you try to get a TT after weight loss , that one ofthe reasons they get approved is for said rash . With that said , should I be complainingto my PCP about it now so it's on record ? Does that even matter ? Also , any tips or tricks you've used or know of that helps ease the rashes would be apperaticed !!!

  7. Hi !! Lap band guru !!! So you should have all the answers to my questions ! Lol I have a million but I'm on my iPhone right now ! So I see you just had surgery !!! How are you feeling ? How would you rate your pain ? Are you hungry ? I know you usually don't get any fill during the implanting of the band but I've heard some day they feel full . Maybe from the swelling ? Thanks so much !! Sorry about the 20 q
