BandedKraut

Had my first follow up today, removed bandages and asked me some questions! Short and sweet! Surgery on July 30th, down 15 pounds, 92 pounds total!

You are not alone! I too was banded on the 30th and have just started experiencing port pain. I have alot of pain on my right side also. Just gotta hang in there, it will get better!

Yes, I believe she is, I was banded on July 30th. Still having a good deal of pain in my right side, not sure why, first follow up is tomorrow so we'll see!

Are there any UPMC Magee bandsters out there? If so, how'd it go for ya?

Am I the only one that was told to consume Clear Liquids or my band would slip? Why are there so many different versions of the recovery process for this procedure?

I'd love to have a buddy! I was banded 5 days ago and I'm having a rough go of it!

I'm not a lady, but I'd like to join your group! LOL I was banded on Friday, July 30th and I feel the same way you do! I have been second guessing my decision to have this ever since I woke up!

I was banded on July 30 and I'm freakin' dying here! My stomach won't stop gurgling and I am sooooo hungry! Would it really hurt me to drink a protein shake at 5 days out?:blushing:

I was banded on Friday as well! I am having alot of pain on my right side and my stomach has been gurgling since I had the procedure! I have been second guessing myself about this surgery since I woke up!
