OR AS CLOSE TO THAT AS I CAN.I HAVE 2 TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS BUT DO WALK IN MY POOL FOR 30 MIN. A DAY. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY ADVISE.:cursing::thumbup:

good luck to you and congrats on your life changing decision. it is a journey i too am looking forward to.i havent been banded that long 7/29/09 i havent had a fill in my band yet. i will be thankful when i get one. i hope all will go well for you ,and you will make a good example for your 2 year old and i am sure she will give you plenty of runing around time.

i had staples and one stitch across where the port is.i think they glued that one shut but still put one stitch in . i was banded on 07/29/09. everyone i have read about has been different. i had 16 staples all together and the did itch and turn red i was worried and glad when they came out but i did not have any infections.call your doctors office and ask the nurse she will know. good luck
