  1. I am 6 wks post op and my scale isn't moving either, hasn't in a couple of weeks. But we have to keep the faith! Everyone says in time it will, and when I see my friends and people on here, I have to believe that it will. We all hit plateaus! Good luck to us all!
  2. I am 6 weeks post op and still have the shoulder neck pain. It dosen't hurt as often as it did. They tell me it is gas pain from surgery. Good Luck!
  3. My dr is out of town this week. I just discovered this last night about incisions. I have swome nurse friends that I am waiting to hear back from. I will try your suggestion, thank you! I am a worry wart!
  4. I was banded Nov. 12, 2012. My recovery has been great and 33lbs lost. I have 5 incisions from surgery. Three are completely healed and barely noticeable. The 2 smallest have decided to get red and looked like they have pus in them. Turned out to be thread from stitches , I guess, Doesn't hurt, but seems strange.. Due to go back for my first fill, Jan 3. Guess, if no pain or infection I will hold tight till then. Anyone had this happen? Thanks!
