candicane 0 Posted November 20, 2008 Hi all. I'm from georgia also. I live in atlanta. Its right outside of atlanta by six flags. I just had surgery on the 12th. I doing ok but have some concerns. My port incision seems so big. Its like half the size of a tennis ball and I thought it would have went down by now. So I'm a little worried at this point, I too was self pay and went to mexico to have my surgery. It also bothers that incision when i'm sitting straight up. I kind of have to lean back and stretch out that side of my body for it to feel better. Any advice fellow Georgians? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sghatl 2 Posted November 21, 2008 ATL38, who is doing your surgery? I live in Lilburn. If you have any questions, ask away. Good luck to all the newly banded, waiting to be banded or just getting started. It is all so worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
