  1. Hi ...I recieved my band 4 days ago as well. Have the back pain that you speak of. It seems to help if I keep the heating pad on my tummy where the incisions are. Still have lots of chest pain and pressure. I had a hernia repaired at the same time. Did you?
  2. Got my band on Wed.. have had alot of pain. The doctor and clinic were amazing. The doctor also repaired a hernia. I keep having what feels like a spasms that start at my sternum and radiate through my chest.. Can't tell if I am hungry, in pain from surgery or ate too much. Is this common?

  7. Hi, my name is Lori. I am getting my band on Wednesday July 16, 2014. I am 5'7" and weigh 187. I seem to shock anyone that I have told and really don't care. My weight has gone up every year, I am 56 yrs. old and I am not interested in waiting until I have all of the associated health issues that accompany obesity. I am told that my ideal weight should be 135 to 155. I would feel very successful if I can maintain a weight of 155 to 160. This procedure is costing me $16,000.00...a darn good investment for a heather lifestyle.
