  1. I know how you feel. I was banded the same day in Sydney and I wonder why a paid to have myself mutilated. I hope I feel better soon as one of my incisions is 2 1/2 inches long and hurts the most.
  2. Hi Everyone, I was hoping that I might be able to ask you guys a few questinos, as I feel a little lost. I had my operation on the March 4th and have spent the past 2 weeks home as I have been in excruisiating pain with breathing and also have been experiencing pain from from my incisions. I was wondering, all the videos of this procedure on line suggestion that all the incisions are tiny, however, I have 4 tiny incisions and one that is 2 1/2 inches long which is causing me the most pain. I'm seeing the doctor on Monday, but I'm not sure what to ask. I thought all the incisions were going to be tiny, but this last one will surely leave an awful scare and is very painful and hard. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this standard and I shouldn't be concerned. Thanks in advance. Other than that I am losing weight (which is great) but am concerned.
  3. Hi Bexter, I had it done around the same time and have not experienced high temperatures or fever at all. Call the doctor, it's important to make sure nothing wrong. The pain and breathing are also part of my experience but they are getting better every day. Hope you feel better soon.
  4. Hi there, I was banded on the 4/3 and had gas pains but they do go away. Take it easy and try and relax.
