I personally am not on the pill, however another person that I do know had to go off the pill a few weeks before her surgery. She was able to go back on them about 2 months after surgery. Hope this helps:)

It might be for you. I have heard others say the same thing. I actually hiccup. My kids call it the parrot;)

Hello everyone, I am a newly banded patient as of 12/31/2011. Yes, Happy New Year to me!!! I have struggled with my weight since I was a junior in high school. After many years of battling my weight, and dealing with issues such as gallstones, high blood pressure and a hiatal hernia, I finally decided enough was enough. I watched two friends go through banding in the past year, and took note of their experience so that I may have a more educated experience. I felt that this surgery was right for me from the very beginning, but had a hard time rationalizing the enormous cost of the surgery. At first my insurance said they would not cover, but then after extensive research and phone calls I found out it would most likely be covered. I am no on day four of post-op and let me tell you, I can not wait to be a healthier skinnier person. I chose Dr. Helmuth Billy out of Ventura , and have been extremely happy with my choice. Good luck to you all on this journey!!!!

If I were you I would let the doctor know. When you do squeeze pus out, what color is it , and does it have an odor? These are things that they will want to know. Hope this helps:)
