Yes, they all were. Could of used one more dr in office though. few reschedules due to longer surgery . had to back a few times for previsits that only the dr could do. other then that they really were awesome and still are. haha. feel great and down about 60 from my 434. as i tell everyone who is heavy, "I should of done this yeas ago" lol. and how are u doing?

same doc and hospital here too!!! I was done oct 19. I live in southern ocean county though. Good luck to you!

Only problem is calories. I am very social with a local fraternal organization and have to go to a lot of social functions. If I know I will be drinking that night I eat fewer calories and higher proteins during the day. No beer, but wine, and cocktails that are not overly sweet. Vodka and sugar free "red bull" is only about 170 calories. I also buy single serving powdered mixers. Order a vodka and water and make it any fruit flavor you want. I feel fine, still get a hangover on the occasional Sunday morning (haha), and just like food now, everything is about moderation. Still social, and down 48lbs since Oct 19th band. Have fun, don't dwell/over think, and enjoy a new start!

Hey, this sounds too familiar...lol. I was banded the same day as well. Almost same stats as well, freaky. I went fri to remove top bandage covers and all small tape over the 4 small holes were taken off, only port side longer one is still "taped". I asked my PA about the same thing and she told me was that an antibioic cream with pain relief will not only keep skin "moist", but aid in healing time as well as cut down on itching due to the pain relief additive. Hope the eases doubts and helps you out. good luck!!

Started journey the same day! Best of luck. Small, slow, and steady.
