I was banded on 2/16/07 and most of my incisions have healed with little to no pain, but the one incision highest up is really hurting. My bra sits and rubs on it. Has anyone else had this problem? I had tried all kinds of different styles and even a larger size, but with no luck. It's not like I could even think of leaving the house without wearing one. Anyone have any suggestions?

I had a simsilar situation, my breasts without a bra laid on the incision, and sweated (gross but true) and my bra rubbed. I finally got several small pieces of fabric, (from an old VERY soft sheet), and used it to "pad" the incision. I did that for about a month, and then the painof it eased, and the incisions were totally healed, and I quit worrying about infecting them. I still have a couple of bras that seem to hurt---and now I have a small piece of fleece I use with them, right under the band. I avoided the fleece until my incisions fully healed, because I was afraid lint might get into something and infect it!

For the most part I never notice any pain in the incision areas anymore---so it does pass!!!!

Good Luck, and welcome to bandland!!! And welcome to LBT!!!

Yes this happened to me too. I wear sports bras or tank tops with the built-in bra. It doesn't rub as much. I also kept a little circle bandaid on it till it didn't hurt any more.

Hope this helps!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
