Reno or N. Nevada Bandsters out there???

Oh no that would be very disappointing! What did they say they could do about it? Who did it for you? I have had three fills now the first one was a little uncomfortable, the second was very uncomfortable and they said mine was tilted but they were able to get a fill in. This time the third different person did my fill and it was a piece of cake. Just a little sting. She didn't have any problems at all. Please let me know what happens to you now? Gail

I meet with my doctor on 8/2 to see if he can do a fill and if not we will discuss other options. I can try to have fills un floro or have a revision to reposition the port. I think the nurses name that tried my fill was Lori. She was very nice but had a difficult time.

You are welcome on this thread whether you have been banded or not, so Welcome!

I would go to the home page, scroll down until you find the thread on Fills and read the posts there. You could probably ask a question there. Just don't wait too long to get some answers, see a doctor if you are having problems. Good Luck!

I was banded this morning at 7;30AM. I can't not believe how good I feel. I was released at noon, and I had a hianal hernia repair too. I am hardly having the shoulder pain any longer. (it is about 12 1/2 hours post op) My throat still is sore.

I know tomorrow can be a different story, but I am so happy right now that this hasn't had first day issues. That was my concern the first day....

DH and I went into contract to purchase a new home. I joked around about how over the next few months, I will be taking pics of me and my body changes and the house as it goes through it's building changes.

I will post more as my life keeps changing. __________________

Robin, Congrats on your banding. I wish you the most! Hope you still feel good tomorrow. I had a hiatal hernia done at the same time too. My doc said it was going to be uncomfortable for a week or so. He was right as far as my case was concerned. Anyway I am all better now and have mended well. Losing a little slower than I would like but at least I am losing.

thanks Gail... I had DR Ganser too. I am like you, how fast isn't the issue, the long term is what I want.

Not from Reno but Winnemucca, to be banded Sep. 14th. Really not looking forward to the 2wk liquid diet. before and after. Dr.Ganser to do my surg. also.

Hi rwel4! Good luck to you! The liquid diet is a bummer but I was determined to do it and I got through it. Before you know it, it's over. I still don't mind the liquid Protein Shakes. I bought a Magic Bullet blender and the Walmart vanilla whey Protein. I also used the stuff that I got through Western Bariatric. I bought different kinds of fresh fruit (frozen also), added some ice and a little fat free milk, the protein and blended it up good, it tastes great! I also used some of the Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup in them once in a while. Anyway, welcome to you and best wishes.
