Micro surgery For insertion of band is great

[JamieC 4]

I was banded yesterday My band was put in using micro surgery. I have one incision hidden in my belly button and some tiny little punctures that are the size of freckles.

After my surgery (which was at a surgery center about two hours from my home) I came home walked a few miles. I have had some shoulder and neck pain (gas) Today I walked a few miles. Went out shopping with my mom who came into town for the surgery I am going to work half a day tomorrow. I highly suggest this technique for insertion. I have not needed to really even take pain meds.

So far so good

If you google it you can see the whole procedure on you tube ( not mine ) someone in Oregon. But there is very little visible scarring. The punctures could look like a mole removal scar and the "big" incision is hidden in my belly button.

I got the same technique today. Other than the gas/air in myleft shoulder area, i feel ok. Just walking around the house as much as possible.

Hmmm....I haven't heard of the micro procedure. Interesting. I may have to ask about that. (But I'm thinking of plication with band, not sure if that's an issue....?).

Thanks I googles, I think I might like that better. When I get down there in weight it might look great not having 5 scars visible when I wear my bikini!
