I was banded at Mercy when they first started about 2 years ago. However, the original doctor has since left, Dr. Bonomo. I feel that they have grown by leaps and bounds with patients. They have lost the personal touch that they use to have. The wait for a fill can be hours. I feel if you have not heard from a patient in months then you should have someone to follow-up on their patients. These are my opinions.

Hello, I am newly banded-Dec 21, 2006 (Merry Christmas). I am very excited about starting the new year with a brighter outlook. I lost 9lbs. in the preop 2wk liquid diet phase:biggrin1:. I have a great support network which helps me to stay on track. However, I had some grits yesterday and by the time I got the 4th spoon down I felt like I was stuffed up to my breast. I have this really stuffed feeling and I have tried tea, Water, gasX, u name it. It hurts when I walk, but it feels fine when I lay down. Should I be concerned?----STUFFED!

:clap2: December 21, 2006 I began my journey to a new me. My surgery was at 1:00pm and I was out of recovery by 4:30pm. There were a few complications with my blood pressure going up extremely high, but with all the prayers of the saints of God I was covered and brought through. December 22, 2006 I am released from the hospital today. The pain is not as bad as I thought it would be.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I feel better today. Still not hungry but drinking my supplements and water. Hopefully this feeling will fade soon. I go to the doctor on Tuesday and I'll let u know what the dr. says. Once again Thank You Soooooo Much.
