Hooray for getting your date for surgery. I had mine on May 5, 2009 and just got my first fill on June 1. Just follow what the doctor says and all will be well.

I had skin glue on May 5 and it did really well on the port opening but the camera opening kind of pulled apart. I went to see him for my first fill on June 1 and he said it was normal and to just put neosporin on it. I feel much better.

I use Dr. Nussbaum -- fabulous doctor; fantastic staff. Plus he works out of St. Barnabas Ambulatory Care Center in Livingston and Morristown Memorial Hospital. I was banded on May 5 and it has been fabulous. He is a gentle man with encouraging words. Good luck to you!

You have set a wonderful goal for yourself and in doing so you have encouraged me to try to find a 5k walk. So thank you for your help and support. I'm glad you have looked for a new doctor who will be able to support and assist you. Lulu Dr. Nussbaum Banded 5/5/09 Filled 6/1/09 Begin: 264 lbs. Current: 248 lbs. Loss to date: 16 lbs.
