I am a nurse and I would never try this. Mine will be done in the doctors office under fluoroscopy.

Had the same thing..

Well it has been a little over 2 weeks.. glad I did it. No regrets at all. Today I have been hungry but all in all it has not been difficult. I have lost 13 lbs so far. I can really feel a difference, not to mention I am starting to look different. I am off all of my meds which is great! Eating applesauce, oatmeal and grits. My fav has to be the grits. Can honestly say I am starting to dislike sweets (where did that come from?) I thought I loved sweets. I can tell this is going to give me a new lease on life. Wish I had done it sooner. :drool:

Anybody got any good suggestions for a good protein drink. I have tried Aikens, Trader Joe, Special K... I hate them.. anything out there that taste like carnation instant breakfast.. I think most taste sick..

Hey,, I had that stupid gas in the top of my shoulder for 1.5 weeks.. finally the second week it is gone.

Thanks, I saw some others w/ the same issues and just decided as you said to listen to my body and move on... I really don't feel my stomach can tolerate being that empty anymore.. I feel the acid is irritating it. I just took a couple of bites of pudding we'll see. Thanks for the advice.

Never mind I saw the answer

Thanks.. to sore to find it if it is around that area.. just paranoid it had slipped .

Where is the port. I can't find it. . Is it around the umbilicus area? There sure isn't one on the side. Had surgery yesteday so I am still to sore to poke around the belly button.

Well I did it. I am now banded. A brand new chance to feel and look better. A better brand new me. Arrived at the hospital at 7:30 am for a 9:30 surgery. I was very sad b/c my grandaughter had to go to Duke for a check up b/c of a cough.. there was a chance she would have to be admitted. I started crying before I went in and cried until I was in the OR. Fortunately she did not have to stay . I stayed in pacu for 3 hrs which is a long time. Recieved 200 mcs of fentenyl for pain and everything under the son for nausea. Cramps were bad. Very sore tonight. Can void as usual, have had to cath self 2 times so far. Hopefully tommorow my bladder will start funcitoning again. Can't seem to get enough to drink. Very dry.
