I am from vegas also, only on the west side of town. Who did your surgery? Mine was done by Dr. Atkinson. Keep us posted if your band went back in place. I am so scared of this happening and having to go thru surgery again

It happened to me also. but at the time I was not banded. I went to the Doctor and she was not concerned at all. and everything checked out ok. So don't worry but be sure and see a doctor so they can rule out anything serious.

I was banded on April 3rd I am 55 . My doctor has us eating four ounces of food three times a day no snacking. 3 ounces of protein chicken, turkey fish, and one ounce of veggie or fruit. We can't eat beef, pork, salad until four months out from surgery. I have lost a total of 42lbs. don't know if this will help you as all doctors are different but it is working for me. I have not done any exercise not even walking but am not proud of that :wub:
