Any South Florida Bandsters??

hi, I had my surgery yesterday AM here in Fort Lauderdale. How are things going for you?

hi' date=' I had my surgery yesterday AM here in Fort Lauderdale. How are things going for you?[/quote']I am doing OK. Happy to be home but the pain is still pretty intense from the gas I guess. As I have things like chicken broth I am realizing that the "full feeling" the Drs. Have been telling me about. It took me an hour or more to consume a cup of vegetable broth, a little jello cup and a 4oz apple juice and I was so full for some time. Not sure how long b/c then I slipped into a narcotics induced nap for a good portion of the morning.

From miami

I'm in Cooper City...hoping to be banded in early December!

I'm in Hollywood - still waiting to make a final decision whether to go through with this. I have been going to the O'Band Center in Ft. Lauderdale. I am down to one more visit with the nutritionist.

Hi Kitty, you will be fine. I just had my surgery Monday here in ft lauderdale. I had mind done at Strax il lauderhill by Dr Choi. So far so good. I had call the oband center here in lauderdale and they would not even talk to me since I didn't have the proper type of insurance policy. I'm sure they are very good there also. I am mostly back to myself. Still a bit sore, however have some pain mess that seem to be doing the trick. This morning I did not even need to take them. I did a lot more worrying and contemplating the whole surgery and it was literally over before I knew it. I would plan on taking 3 days off from work. Take care and best of luck, Joe. let me know how things go for you! I will be happy to answer any questions I can for you.
