Im having surgery Jun 15 with Dr Almanza in Mexico. After reading some negative post last night i havent stop thinking something will go wrong with the surgery. I read something about Bandster Hell !!!Last night after i read the post i had nightmares of my band bein to tight i couldnt breath. and that has me worried. If your Dr was Dr Almanza can you tell me how your experience was and how has it gone for you so far after the surgery and about your scars?

 

I have always been the type of person that wants to think positive about everything but this is a huge desicion for wanting to loose 50lbs. Is it all worth it? With the band you have to live your life on a diet.

 

Please help me !!!

I was banded by Dr. Smith in Ft. Worth, but I can give you some info. Banding should not affect your breathing. If you are too tight, you might not be able to eat, but you can certainly breathe.

Bandster Hell is that time after Banding but before you get restriction. It is called Hell because it is frustrating. You have taken this BIG step and you feel like you are not getting anywhere. But with fills, it passes and you hit your sweet spot.

I am just over 3 months in and I'm finally at or close to my sweet spot. I have lost 40 lbs. and I feel great! I know that it isn't the right choice for everyone, but getting the Band was a GREAT choice for me.

Good luck!
