Thanks Ann - I didn't even think of the hernia thing. Have appt on the 11th of June for fill. Hopfully we'll figure it out.

Ok folks, Has this happened to anyone? I am 12 days post op and it is completely obvious where my port it becasue it sticks out! It's not noticable unless your looking at my bare belly - but still.... Mybe it's still swollen? Just asking. Michele

KIM, When they asked me why I wanted the surgery I just made sure I said things like.... Want to be healthier, live longer, be around to see my kids grow up etc. I think they just want to make sure your not going it for the wrong reason (to become a runway model, get back at an ex, quick fix etc). One thing they might ask is if you have the support of your family. Oh and anoher thing.. I was leary of telling the physc about being on anti-depression meds thinking he might not give me the "ok", but I came clean and he told me he was glad I let him know. I said I was depressed about being over weight - he said it would help my case. Hope this helps and good luck to you. Michele :girl_hug:

OK, Im new here... Going to be banded on May 11th (woo hoo). My concern is .... did they wake you up AFTER they took the tube out of your throat? I'm afraid I'm going to FREAK OUT if I wake up and I can't swallow or talk.
