Hello all I was band Nov-6 Thursday and Just got out yesterday Saturday 11-8 because of some complications :-( they had to take all the liquid from my band because I had some swelling of the stomach and nothing was going down. I am a lot better now I am at home farting up a storm and dealing with the pain. Dr. Obryan will filled my band again on my 1st visit 11-12. I am on clear liquids until tomorrow then hard liquids for 2 weeeks. I have lost 13 lb already even with the pain I can say I have no regreats.
