i say get it and dont regret it because you will still be able to eat the foods you like in smaller portions, and dr martin is great he's my surgeon.... so glad i got it done no regrets here at all!!
I'm all done. Took about 5 minutes and not much pain (just a pinch). I definately feel restrictionnow (6CC of 10CC band). I used to be able to gulp water, now sipping even causes some minor discomfort. Doc said this would go away in a few days. 2 days liquid diet, then back to mushies for 2 days :tongue2:.
I had LB surgery with Dr. Martin on April 28, 2010. I had virtually no pain, just one day of discomfort. The incisions are tiny, and two weeks out I can barely see one of them already.
Great Dr. and staff!!!
I am getting banded at the end of the month, and have a few reservations/questions. Do you ever have a bad day and wish you didnt have the band? How do you deal with those?
I am getting banded at the end of the month, and have a few reservations/questions. Do you miss eating and enjoying food? Or do you still get some enjoyment by eating less? How do you overcome being a psychological eater (eating cause bored or cause of habit), does the band help with that?
