Hi everyone, hope you are all doing great!! After my 2nd surgery March 24 I feel great. It went much better then the first one. Only had some gas pains in my neck and shoulder but nothing like the 1st surgery. I am hoping I am back on a roll and can restart this process. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!

Good luck Ky March 25. I am having my band replaced March 24. I am very nervous since all the people on this website that say the 2nd time is much worse. I hope it is the same or better cause I had alot of back pain. I am not sure if I will have to pay my $4500 out of pocket again. My doctor in my home town that has been doing all my fills said to wait see what the surgeon and hospital were I have to have it done sends for a bill since he has had many slips at his practice. If I coudl have had it fixed someplace else I wopudl have but no other surgeons want someone elses problems. I hope this does not cost me anout out of pocket!!! Good luck with your surgery and let keep our heads up!!!! If you want to email me at home you can reach me at ckcbc55555@bevcomm.net Thanks, Karen

I am dealing wiht a band slip right now. I was banded May 08 and had alittle slip November which fixed itself but now may need it replaced. i am concerned about the money this time since I have $4500 out of pocket. I had that saved then but now have nothing saved. I don't know what to expect.I am down 78 pounds and don't want to just have it removed either.

Have you had a fill? I had my second one today adn after I drank teh water I felt ok until I got home. I feel full up to my throat adn feel like i need to burp. Does that mean I am too full adn my water did not go down as good as I thougt at the fill appointment?

I had my surgery May 7 and it took me a good 2 weeks to fell alittle bette.r My back hurt for about 3-4 weeks and I went to get a message which helped alittle after about week 3. Hope that helps.
