piperbaby 0 Posted October 25, 2005 How are you scars? Does he he cut a nice line? What did they give you for pain? Any other tips or tricks? TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banded_for_life 2 Posted October 25, 2005 I was banded by Dr. B on 9/23 and I think my cuts are healing nicely. Won't be too much scaring. I couldn't take vicadin, so they gave me some other pain pill. I took 4 total and never had any backpain. It all went really smoothly. I have my scar picture on the scar picture thread.

piperbaby 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks Keri! You have the big band if I remember right, did you feel any restriction at before getting a fill or were you starving until that point? l work with a guy who had his band a week ago thursday and he has been starved, infact he went to grandys for lunch yesterday and had chicken fried steak:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banded_for_life 2 Posted October 25, 2005 Is the one of Dr. Bs patients? He needs time to heal. It took a long time for the swelling to go down...so that was my restriction for awhile. I won't say I wasn't hungry, but it was all very managiable. I knew it wasn't going to be forever. Yes, I have the VG...so it will probably take awhile to get to my sweet spot.
