Hi everyone My husband and I were banded on the 20th and home the next day. We're both doing very well except for the gas in my left shoulder. I'm so glad we did this for ourselves and wish everyone luck.

Wow Angie I'm so sorry to hear that your Dr. won't do a band over BMI of 35. My BMI was 60 and I was banded on 9/20. My dr said the surgery went fine and she was finished within an hour. Please keep us updated and hope all goes wells for you.

I was banded on 9/20 and my Dr. insisted that I take pain meds for the next few days and I'm sure glad she did. I was told that I could take liquid tylenol as well. No aleve, motrin, etc though. Hope your pain gets better.
