How are you feeling three weeks later? Are you still experienceing a lot of discomfort at your port site? That is the only spot I still feel pain and have trouble sleeping on that side of my stomach! By the way, your page decorations are very pretty!

I was banded 9 days ago and my bandages have not moved an inch! My pre-op group was advised not to physically take bandages off--- let them come off on their own. We were also told to use anti-bacterial shower gel to wash our stomachs. Plus, when our bandages did fall off, not to put anything on the incesions. Our nurse was pretty clear not to use any neosporin or any other type of ointments!

Dear Jetti, I am going to a seminar on October 11th. I am determined to have the lap-band surgery. I hope you will write about your consult appointment with Dr. Bertha. How did his partner seem from the seminar? I may have to make an appointment with Dr. Abkin. I work in a school and it is hard for me to take a lot of days off. I am trying to make all my appointments during NJ Teachers Convention. Unfortunatly, Dr. Bertha is only in on Wednesdays and I have Tuesday and Thursday and Friday off. I hope all goes well for you.
