My surgeon said cholchicine was not a stomach irritant. I've experienced no problem with that. I have since been on allopurinal just to be safe. No issues since. I'm thinking of going off it when perscription runs out next month since I've lost all my weight.

This is a stupid question (coming from a non bander) does running affect the band or port at all? How about stomach crunches and the like? What about large amounts of h2o intake after a good workout?

Is there a support thread for guys only? I can't seem to find it.

I'm new to this site and it appears very helpful. It also appears to be mostly females which is fine but I'd like a mans perspective. I'm considering a band and am going to a seminar next week. Tell me your experiences thus far. I would eventually like to start running down the road in months time and want to know if it affects your bad or port. Has eating real food also been any problem after a couple weeks after surgery? Thanks
