Thanks ladies. If I experience pain again tomorrow. I'll call

Ok so occasionally I experience upset stomach pain after eating. Around my lower rib cage area. It's not horrible. More like a tummy ache. It doesn't happen every time or every day. Just once in awhile.i see my surgeon on Feb 10th. Should I wait to discuss it with him then or call now? Could it be a slip? It also makes me get a really tight belly feel. And pushes my port out....... What do I do

Yes umass weight center.at the university.there web sure online explains everything.and gives you the numbers to call.they will send a packet to you in the mail

Well i love in orange ma. Springfield our worcester both same distance away from me.i choose Worcester.one because the reviews where amazing.they have a weight program there that you have to follow before the surgery.it took 6 months to complete.the fist step wad to go to a orientation meeting.in a big class room filled with other people looking in to weight loss.they gave to major choices to make After the 1 hour class.choose the weight management program.where you would see a buddhist and a exercise specialist and you would continue to go to learn the proper way to eat for your body.or the surgery root.which then you would have a choice of lapband.gastric or sleeve.i choose Lapband because even though my bmi was 40. I really didn't hasn't a ton to loose. I'm hoping got 100lbs. 57 more to go. After the class you get a call from the weight center to start your program.6 months of seeing a phyciatrist, the general director of the program and a nutrtionist.after the 5 months you will start the one month class of you and your other peers talking discussion groups.then you meet with the surgeon after that.you can choose one or they will choose one for you.they do all the work with your insurance.they try they're best to get you approved for the surgery.my band was the best thing i have ever done.if you have any more question let me know
