  1. i was banded on the 10th also and i am not experiencing that. I do still have some swelling but all seems to be healing fine. There is slightly more around my port but no pain associated. When do you go for a follow up? I would ask. I wish you the best of luck. Hang in there.
  2. have you always gurgled? I was just banded on the 10th but i very rarely do it. I hope it doesn't start after i get a fill.

  4. I was banded on the 10th and he was so good i don't even remember him coming in to do it. You ladies will do wonderful. Praying for you all.
  5. I got my approval around the middle part of June and I'm getting banded on July 10th. Could have done it sooner but my Dr is on vacation this week for his anniversary. He didn't want to do it and then leave town in case i needed him. As much as I wanted to do it sooner I totally respected him not wanting to run out on me. Good luck on your journey. It will be here before you know it.
