I am 6 wks post op and my scale isn't moving either, hasn't in a couple of weeks. But we have to keep the faith! Everyone says in time it will, and when I see my friends and people on here, I have to believe that it will. We all hit plateaus! Good luck to us all!

I was banded Nov. 12, 2012. My recovery has been great and 33lbs lost. I have 5 incisions from surgery. Three are completely healed and barely noticeable. The 2 smallest have decided to get red and looked like they have pus in them. Turned out to be thread from stitches , I guess, Doesn't hurt, but seems strange.. Due to go back for my first fill, Jan 3. Guess, if no pain or infection I will hold tight till then. Anyone had this happen? Thanks!

Thank you!

I am 6 weeks post op and still have the shoulder neck pain. It dosen't hurt as often as it did. They tell me it is gas pain from surgery. Good Luck!

My dr is out of town this week. I just discovered this last night about incisions. I have swome nurse friends that I am waiting to hear back from. I will try your suggestion, thank you! I am a worry wart!

I was banded 11-12 and I have no restrictions either. I get my first fill jan. 3. So I am following a 1000 cal diet and eating small bites, and chewing, chewing , chewing. I have lost 31 lbs as of this morning. it's working, but not what I expected. Hoping my fill helps some! Hang in there!

The first couple of days are rough! I was thinking, "What did I do yo myself?" It does get better. I had the bad shoulder neckthat lasted til Tuesday of this week.

Today is post op day 11, i am hungry and have no trouble eating whatever I want. What's up with that?

Thanks for the info! I wasn't expecting to be so hungry! Will stick to Drs diet, I don't want to gain weight lost back either!
