Hi - I had 8 incisions, including my port. I should add that my size had a great deal to do with that number of incisions.

My insurance - with UHC - requires a 6 month medically supervised diet. I'd recommend double checking to see what the exact requirements are to meet their requirements. If more than 30 days passed between doctor visits - my insurance plan started back at "month 1" - towards the 6 month count.
Hi - Does anyone have any good bandster friendly recipes using Tuna or Tofu?
Thanks - Theresa

Hi - I am a super-size bandster. My initial consult weight - was 561 and my weight on surgery day was 532. I'm 5'6".
I had my surgery on July 23, 2007 at KU Med Center with Dr. Niazy Selim. I ended up having 8 incisions. I stayed overnight, as my oxygen stats were low.
I'm still having some pain/soreness. I've been walking down to the end of the block, and doing some gentle exercise band stretches.
