dirich 4 Posted February 19, 2013 kisha: 60th day of post op? do you struggle with it every day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kisha O. 3 Posted February 19, 2013 Yes, post op. I do have some struggle. Biggest thing for me is that I have the left shoulder pain that about 1% of people get and I still have it. That is the only thing that I complain about now. I've gotten used to the long needle that is used to insert the Fluid into the band. I thought I was going to faint when I seen it the first time! Lol But overall everything is going good. I just know now that I cannot let myself get to hungry because that is when you eat to fast and getting your food stuck, which only happened once for me, is not fun. :/ One thing that I tell people is that is TRULY a lifestyle change and if a person is not going to be dedicated to it - - dont waste the time. Having supportive people, friends included, will make your recovery and journey smooth and worthwhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
