Hello! Sorry for the big delay in responding back, I've been busy and trying to take it easy and heal. I know were San Juan Capo :smile2: is! I used to live in Orange County. Still drive down and visit friends alot. I miss it there. Have you been banded yet?

lol That last part was great! Now when my time comes I'm going to be sitting in the bathroom laughing.

Thank you everyone for your response. I have a post-op appointment with my Doctor tomorrow so I will ask him about some milk of magnesia.

Did you guys start to go #2?? Sorry if it's TMI but I was banded on Friday and I haven't #2 yet is this normal. I'm guessing it would be since your not getting any food in but I was curious how long it took everyone else and did you have to take laxatives or fiber etc...

Whoa! Sounds alot like what I'm going through now. I was banded on Friday the 16th. I had a hernia repair done as well and sometimes I wonder if thats whats hurting me, don't think it's the port though then again I'm not sure. I was also wondering if the back pain was normal and I guess my question has been answered :tt2:
