I am a little nervous. I have had the band now for a month and I am hearing horriable stories from a good friend that had it done.. Has anyone had major problems with there band

Hi Brandymaddie, I hope all is going well with you. I also was worried for awhile. My PA told me to try not to listen to other expirences unless you are having the same issues. I freaked myself out. It took my PA to set me straight. She also told me to stop looking up issues on the internet. Everyone is different, so you may not have the same issues that someone else has or you may have different issues. My husband is newly banded and he does not have any of the issues that I have and he can tolerate different foods that I am not able to. We had the same surgeon and we have the same person to complete our fills. So try to remember that everyone is different and try to relax. I also found that my weight loss was better when I was not stressing out. So good luck and if you do have issues let your doctors know ASAP and they will help you out. :Yawn:
