I bruise almost every time I get a full, and my surgeon is the only person that's ever done it and its never hurt badly, just uncomfortable but I feel that's normal. Guess I just bruise easily?

Every time I go get a fill, I get a weird gurgle noise every time I take a sip of water or when I eat. It's been a continuous problem throughout my journey. I can still eat, so it's not from the band being too tight I guess. Anyone else has had a problem like this?

Dr. Holsaeter did my surgery as well. He is a lovely man and I love his staff too! Always have a pleasant visit when going to his office.

Hello all! Lovely to meet you!

Hello, everyone! I'm Victoria! I'm 20, banded 12/11/11, and I'm 50 pounds down so far. Feel free to introduce yourself! I'd love to hear from some banders around my age, or whoever! Haha

Hi there! I understand your worry. I got banded 12/11/11. Since then, I had only one fill that was too tight, and I had to go back in a couple days later to get some taken out. Your doctor won't add that much to begin with (at least mine didn't). Just make sure if your doctor as you drink Water afterwards you are HONEST with him or her if it feels too tight when swallowing. Good luck! I'm sure everything will go smoothly!
