Hello,

I got banded on 4/28 and I have some concerns. I also feel I could use some online support, maybe a banding buddy. lol

Thanks for looking.

I still have swelling at the larger incision - actually felt like a rock last week. I called my Dr office and the nurse said it sounded normal (from how I explained it to her).

I too was not having "bm's" - and they said that I needed to drink at least 64 oz of water/fluids daily - and that I should add some benefiber to my mushies. That has helped.

I can drink the 64+ ounces of fluids with no problem - I have always been a HUGE Water drinker. So no problem there for me.

hi there!

My DR said that I don't have any saline in the band and won't till 6 weeks out. Can you fit in the 64 oz of liquid with the rstriction of waiting 30 min before drinking and 1 hr after having the protein drinks (they have become almost inpossible to drink now) I am having trouble drinking enough and consequently (well you get the idea)

Please let me know how you are doing and congrats on the surgery.

Sammi
