BOB M.

Just out of curiosity which band do you guys have ? the allergan or the Realize band ? I wonder if it's a manufacturers defect that is starting to surface.

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind me joining your thread. I was banded 10/20/09. My doctor prescribed a tube of cream called Recoveron-NC for my incisions and told me to apply it 2 times a day. The strips that were on the incision fell off yesterday. My incisions are a little red around the cuts and there doesn't seem to be any swelling. Today I ate a can of clam chowder I put in a blender and liquified first. Man that sure tasted better than chicken broth, It's nice to hear your experiances it sure helps me knowing I'm not the only one in the world going through this. Thanks for your imput Bob M.:wink2:

I'm not far behind you. I weigh 370lbs, I just got banded 10/20/09. I'm still on clear liquids...

What kind of jokeing can you give us an example

I was banded about the same time as you were, last tuesday to be exact. I am tierd of the liquid diet thing also. I'll be glad when I can take a bite of some kind of food, even if it's just a small bite.:thumbup:

Just got home from getting banded in Mexico. Went to Dr. Corvola. Everything went great drinking clear liquids just fine but I am sore, I hope I have a successful experiance like some of the others have had on this site. Looking forward to talking with all of you. Bob M.:closedeyes:

I'm getting ready to do this lap band thing and was wondering about DR. Corvala. Is there anybody out there that has had their band for 5 or 6 years. has had their surgery with Dr. Corvala, Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. I am concerned and don't know if I'm about to do the rite thing here. And wich band do you like the best.

:ranger: Hi my name is bob and I am still asking questions and doing reserch. I wanted to see what you guys think which is the better band, johnson & johnson or the allergan band. Your input would be greatly appreciated :help: THANKS BOB M.
