Hi I am from May Tx about 60 miles from Abilene. We go to Abilene once or twice a month. If you don't know where May is I am sure you know where Brownwood is we are about 20 miles from there. I had my lapband done in Fort Worth on Nov 16,2006 so far I am doing pretty good. Well just wanted to say hi!

Hi I had my lapband on the 16th of November. I have had lots of pain but I am now out 2 weeks and feeling so much better other then I have a really bad cold. I have had 3 c-sections and I thought this surgery would be easier but it has not. So you will feel hopefully feel pretty good by 2 weeks out and maybe just have a little port pain at least that is my only real pain now. Goodluck it will get better. Jenny

Thank you for your replys I really appriciate it. I did talk to the nurse at the surgeons office she said most of the things I am concerned about are completely normal. From what I told her about the bruise on my stomach it sound like I bled a little more under the skin the most but should be fine. She did tell me to start eating thin mash potatos or anything with that consistancy that might help with the burning in my throat. I don't think I was getting enough food in me and maybe it was causing some heartburn with the pain I don't know. Thanks again for your kindness I will definetly stay around and post you are all great. Jenny

Hi, my name is Jenny and I had the lap-band done November 16,2006 just 5 days ago. I have a few questions about what I am feeling. I have a burning in my throat down into my stomach area is this normal it is quite painful at times. I also have middle back pain that will not go away. I have a large bruise around the port area did any else have this. And I also feel pain in my chest area maybe gas that I can't release just yet. I am sure I will have more questions soon but these are the ones that worry me the most. You know I research for a long time before deciding to do the lap band and I still have lots of questions. I guess until you do it you really don't know how it will affect you. I don't regret it at all just little more pain then I expected. Thank you for your time Jenny
