Banded August 15 in El Paso Texas had 7 holes in the stomach lining that had to be patched also. So still a little sore to say the least. A large amount of bruising on the port side but only burns when I get moving up or down for a sitting of lying position.off my protonix and off my metformin blood sugars averaging 90 to 100. Protein bullets working well for me so no prob with the liquid diets. So far so good and I still would do it again.

Hey all new here. I am a 46 year old male weighing in at 280 looking to get to 215 according to my doctor. My surgery is scheduled for Weds and I am a bit nervous as the day approaches. I am also having a hernia repair (the first sttempt failed) at the same time. So tell me honestly the good and the bad what can I expect the first few days? When will a normal routine begin and lastly what emotions and problems appeared as far as medical and emotional. I intend to keep a log I really want to be able to help others that come behind me and I figure if I keep a log then they may get a view from the patient as well as the doctor. Please let me know thanks:ranger:
