I was banded on May 15th by Dr. Wynn. Everything went well,only spot that hurts is at my port site. Big bruise there. On full liquids for 4 weeks. It would be easier if I didn't have to make dinner for the kids. I'm so use to picking while I cook. I quess they have to eat hehe lol. I've been walking every day but wondering when I can really start working out. I have a weight restriction of 16 lbs. for a month.

hey cheerios124, i'm from lewes. have you gone to any support groups yet? there is soppose to be one in rehoboth. i haven't checked it out yet. and there is one in harrington. i just had surgery on the 15th on may so i'm still recovering.

My Dr is Wynn. From what I have been reading they say that the protein shakes should help w/ the hunger. Is that true. i am scared about the first month on just liquids. I keep making lists of the things I can have. I have my own special shelf at home that no one is aloud to take anything off. Lol.

rockinrobyn do you mean st. francis in wilmington de ? i am to get banded may 15th and would love to hear more about your story

My Dr. said I would do 4 weeks of liquid, then2 weeks mushie. Everyone seems to be told something different. It makes it hard to know what to do if you don't just listen to what your Dr. said to do.:faint:

Hi I'm from lower DE. I see Dr. Wynn. The plan is for my surgery to be done on May 15th. I'd love to talk to any one from DE.

I'm a registered nurse

Does slippage happen often ?

Hi, I'm new here, just started going to all the Dr's for clearance. After a year of thinking about it I'm finally going to do it. I weighed 260 when I went for my first appt. That's the biggest i've ever been. My family is alittle nervous about me getting the lap band. I've been reading your posts for the last week, gathering info. What I want to know is do you feel hungry that first month ? I'm afraid I'll feel like I'm starving.

Penni merrick is there a reason why you didn't get re-banded
