Mockingbird

OK, so while I have no reason to think anything is wrong with my band(I'm a week out of surgery, I'm following my Doctor's orders and I feel great) I'm paranoid that my band will slip. So, what are the symptoms of slippage? I know major slippage, you can't keep anything down, acid reflux, etc. But what about a minor slippage? Can moving around a lot soon after surgery cause slippage? Thanks for helping with my irrational fears :thumbup:

Thanks one4you2belike! I'm thrilled with things so far :-D SunshineLady- yep, I'm pretty much pain free as well...the first night I was home I had some pain, but other than that I'm good :-) I am starting to be hungry, though. Argh. Yep, just waiting and waiting until Sunday :w00t: (and everyone else is eating Mac&cheese right now:drool: eek!) I haven't heard word one from Andrey. Though it's pretty much what I expected, it still makes me kinda sad. slimm2b-Our Dr has us drinking decarbonated sugar free ginger ale and such. so no worries there :-)

Hello all! I'm new here(of course :-P) My name is Louisa, and I was just banded by Dr DiBenedetto in Rochester, NY on Tuesday! I heard about this site from my roommate in the hospital, known here as Sunshinelady(hello!) Um, let's see... I'm 21 and I've been overweight all my life. I've been on every diet and weight loss program under the sun since I was 11, none worked, obviously. My highest weight was....over 400... and I am now 300lbs exactly, according to my scale(I was at 379lbs when I first went to see Dr Dibenedetto) I'm loving the whole not hungry thing, though I have to make myself eat the Jello and stuff they want me to eat(I'm not much of a sweets person, unless it's starchy. or ice cream) Honestly, I'd rather just have Water, but it's always best to follow the Doctor's orders, of course:tongue_smilie:
