I was banded on March 19, 2008, by Dr. Renee Wolff in Portland, Maine. So far mostly good. liquids going down great, started on blended food and that worked, but still in pain and using pain meds 4 days out, which I wasn't expecting. I'm sure that will pass soon.

I look forward to learning from and sharing with everyone here :crying:

Portland is beautifull! I was there last Feb when a friend flew to Maine Medical Center for specialized surgery. She flew from Wisconsin...I came several days later...right in the middle of a Nor-easter!!!!!!!

Love Maine, Snowmobile the county alot, stay in Caribou.

Also had the band on March 19th. No problems, feel good.

Only use the pain med at night, rolling over hurts a bit.

It will get better, have some buising improving.

On the treadmill for 30 minutes, no problems

slow but sure and we will get it done!

Oh no, arriving during a storm doesn't show you the best side of Maine. I hope you have a chance to see how pretty it can be in the summer :biggrin:

Is your pain around the port site? I was surprised to still hurt so much and there is this "bulge" where I have pain.

Hi There,

I just joined here. I am waiting to be banded by Dr. Wolf. I meet with the dietician Aug 6th. I have been doing the monthly weigh in's with my pcp and working hard at being patient through this process. It is hard to wait. How are things going with you?

hi, congrats on your band.

what kind of blended foods? the pain may be that since you are only 4 days out.

good luck.
