HI hnladue I am responding to the couple of questions you had for me. The first was yes I had a catheder but they did it while I was sleeping.It did not hurt when they took it out which was a few hours later because I was up out of bed around 5:30-6:00 that night. I did not have any gas or gas pains. The pain really was minimal it is very hard to explain, my stomach did feel very weird and sick feeling. It felt like it was attacking itself. at times I would think i was hungry but not really and other times i'd think i wanted something to drink but i didnt want thst either. The first week was hard i will be completely honest with you but after that i felt very good and was up and around. If i had to do it all over agin i'd do it in a heartbeat. Dr. DiBenedetto is great and has a wonderful bedside manner. Good luck to you keep me posted!!!!!!!!!! you will be glad you chose this for yourself.

Hi Everyone I am new to this sight also. It really is full of alot of information. I was banded January 4,08 at Rochester General in Rochester NY. I weighed 221lbs and now weigh 180lbs it was the best decision I ever made I couldnt be happier. My question is we are moving to Mauldin,SC at the beginning of July and need to find a Doctor in the area. I found a group of doctors that work together in Greenville,SC. They are Dr.Boar,Dr.Cobb,Dr. Carbanel so if any of you are familiar and can give me some feedback it would be really appreciated. I am very happy with my Dr. here but you have to do what you have to sometimes. Thank You!!!!!
