  1. Big Band or Little Band ?

    slinkysister replied to kimmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hi all, I had the 10cm band put in on June 14th and I've been miserable! It feels too tight, it hurts everytime I take a deep breath and I can definitely feel it. Also, the surgery was way more traumatic than I was expecting ..... because it wasn't an open surgery or a gasatric bypass, I was thinking I would just bounce back in a couple of days. And I am definitely restricted ... can only eat a little soup and then am really full for some time. This part is o.k., but I would really like to breathe without pain. Anyone else have a similar situation? Thanks.
