Hello and Happy New Year.
I was banded on November 18th, 2010 in Michigan. John Webber, MD at the DMC Harper Hospital is my doc. Tomorrow January 4th, 2011 is my first adjustment.
I just set up my account on here today. I tried setting up an account twice yesterday. I did not intend to unfriend you but it says I will need to wait five minutes before I may add you as a friend. So I wait LOL
Around the third week post-op I had intence pains in my lowwer left abdominal region. I almost went to the ER for it. The last stabbing pain I had I said to myself it must be a kidney stone and that if I had one more pain like that I would call 911 and go to the ER. Well I drank several glasses of water and urinated several times but that last stabbing pain was the last stabbing pain! I still do not know what was causing it, but I am very glad it has not come back again.
My choice to have a banding was made over two years ago. I then spent two years yo-yo dieting. I must have lost and regaind the same twenty pounds twenty times before I met my surgeon.
