Hi all, Has anyone tried the power plate/fit vibe as part of their fitness programme? Just wondered if it effected the band or port at all.

Hi all, This is my first posting, even though i have been following the board for a few months. Thought i'd tell you my experience, i was banded 3 weeks ago and was told this was such a routine operation, i was so excited i've been considering having a band for a few years now and finaly plucked up the courage to have it done. When i woke up from surgery i had such a bad pain in my left shoulder i couldn't move, but i thought no pain no gain, as i had the op early in the morning i was told that i could go home in the evening. Thankfully for me the nurse that took me to the clinic was delayed, and was told she'd pick me up in the morning, no worries i was happy to stay put, once again she was delay on route, but by this time i started to fill ill, i was going dizzy and put it down to the anesthetic the nurse finaly came for me around noon, but by this time i was feeling worse, she sat me in the chair where i past out, from then on it was a bit of a blur, i knew there were things going on around me and that the surgen had ome back into the room, next thing i rememner i'm being rushed back into surgery. When i came too i was hooked up to everything possible, and later told i had internal bleeding due to a burst blood vessel, and needed 3 units of blood and now sporting an 7-8inch scar starting from just under my breast and going down to my tummy, i was so upset i was expecting very small scars, the Dr cut across the top scar, which after two days of being out of the clinic was infected, i was so worried i had all this stuff pouring from me, so after 3 days of being home i was back in the clinic and on meds for another 5 days. I'm still not 100% i'm waiting for the wound to heal, i still have a few probs moving around due to the open wound, but i am being positive, i have just had my first fill and looking forward to wearing something nice at Xmas, But i would say to anyone wanting this operation, don't just look into the lap band surgery look into the lapascopic procedure in general, be carfull its not always so straight forward.
