KATHLEENH

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT. YOUR STORY WAS MY BIGGEST FEAR GOING INTO THIS. I AM NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS BUT I AM ALWAYS FEARING SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO WRONG. HANG IN THERE........

I WAS BANDED ON JUNE 8 2010. I HAVE LOST 50 POUNDS AND FEELING GOOD. I CAN NOT SAY IT IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE. IF I COULD GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. I PROBABLE WOULD. THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION. LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. DON'T LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE. I AM SORRY THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU. I HAD MY SURGERY ON JUNE8TH. I WAS ON CLEAR LIQUID FOR 10 DAYS AND THEN I ADDED YOGURT AND SOME CREAM SOUPS FOR ANOTHER TEN DAYS. I CAN NOT BELEIVE YOUR DOC SAID YOU COULD HAVE CEREAL. THAT SOUNDS CRAZY TO ME. YOUR STOMACH NEEDS TIME TO HEAL.

OK I SAW YOUR ONLY 8 DAYS POST OP. YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR STOMACH TIME TO HEAL.

I AM ABOUT 6 WEEKS POST OP AND I STILL FEEL SOME DISCOMFORT AT MY PORT SITE. HOW FAR OUT ARE YOU?

remember muscle weighs more than fat

HI, I had my band placed on June 8th. I was very scared about the operation but I have to say it was very easy. I went to sleep at 8:25 and I woke up in recovery at 10:05. I had no pain. I was very cold but they gave me alot of blankets and that passed. The first week was very tough for me. I was very tired and I was having some emotional issues. every day gets better. I am down 46 pounds and feeling good. Good Luck to you

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD TELL ME ABOUT THE BACK PAIN. I AM 5 WEEKS POST OP AND HAVING BACK PAIN RIGHT WERE THE BAND WOULD BE INSIDE. I CAN ALSO FEEL THIS BAND INSIDE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DOC AND THEY CHECKED FOR PLACEMENT AND IT IS FINE. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES

I AM NEW TO THIS SITE. I HAD MY BAND JUNE 8TH. I AM HAVING BACK PAIN. AND I NOTICED YOU SAID YOU WERE AS WELL. I HAVE GONE TO THE DOC SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CHECKED FOR BAND PLACEMENT. THEY SAY EVERYTHING OK BUT I KNOW I AM FEELING DISCOMFORT IN MY BACK RIGHT WERE THE BAND IS. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. HAVE THEY GIVEN YOU ANY EXPLANATIONS?????
