Thankfully, I've had no problem in the bowel movement department, so I don't think mine is that. I wonder what it could be.

Hi Barb, I've been getting the same pains, but mine are closer to my port area. I was banded on May 9th - I wonder if it's related. It's not too often, but every couple of days I'll feel it and it'll last quite a while. Hmm..:confused_smile: Alana Tallahassee, FL

Hey, I will be banded on May 9th. Can't wait! I'll most likely be going for fills at Fill Centers USA. They have a place in Moultrie. The doctor who will be banding me (Dr. Ortiz) is on the board of directors there.

Hi Zeta, I'm not in South Georgia, but I am in North Florida (right below the border in Tallahassee). My boyfriend lives in Thomasville, GA. I'm going to be banded on May 9th in Mexico. The surgeon here in Tallahassee wouldn't accept my insurance so I am self-pay. My friend went to the Obesity Control Center in Mexico and said it was the best decision she's ever made. Let me know how everything goes for you! Alana:redface: Tallahassee, FL

Hi All, I live in Tallahassee, FL and I'm set to be banded on May 9th at the Obesity Control Center in Mexico. Looking for support groups nearby for people who have been banded or will be soon. Alana Tallahassee, FL:rolleyes2:
