New to the banding world



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and was banded on 2/15/07. I have done a lot of research online prior to surgery and have found boards such as this a great help. Since my pre-op visit on 1/31/07 I have lost 29 lbs. My brother and I were banded on the same day by same surgeon. That has made this so far short journey interesting. He of course is doing way better than me. He is a guy after all and we know they lose faster. I'll catch up to him some day. Just wait.

Surgery went well and have had just a couple issues since. 1 was the gas after surgery, which wasn't terrible, but noticeable. 2 is that I've been having an achy port site the last couple days. Seems to be better this morning, we'll see. I've heard that this is an on and off thing for quite some time.

Will be both asking and answering questions throughout my journey here.
