Well 8 weeks after surgery was ridng coasters at Busch Gardens, I do try to brace myself a little more to b carefull, but am a Thrillseeker, I just went to Vegas to Jump off the stratosphere 855 ft, anyway you should be fine but ASK DOCTOR!

Well The one thing I can tell you is after the surgery is over the nurses will try to get you to drink water and walk, even though you may not feel like walking.....PUSH yourself I cried when they told me I couldnt go home until I could move around, so I got up and walked up and down that hallway and it did relieve alot of the gas pressure I felt! so thats the 1 piece of advice I can give you! I was banded on August 3 and I weighed 315lbs and now I weigh 255!! Good luck! its an amazing Journey,I suggest everyone keep a journal....

Hey I have a question.....for the past 2 days I have had a really tight stomach, I felt very full but I hadnt eaten, and my stomach actually hurts, I am able to keep the water down , should I be concerned about the pain...its not unbearable but i have not had any problems since my surgery, but i am so afraid of slippage and erosion that is ridiculous! I had a Hard BM the other day if i strained could i have done something? Could something be stuck? should I call my Dr? will he think I am crazy? PLEASE help

I was banded 3 months ago and I just dont get it I feel full but hungry at the same time!!!!!!

I was banded on Aug 3, 2012 and I have lost 37lbs!

Hey I have been banded for 3 weeks and I have an amazing supportive family and friends but they dont get the emotional roller coaster this is and how trying it really is I am looking for a buddy in the Tampa Bay Fl area.....
