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.

Sorry ATL38 for just responding. I am still getting aquainted with this system. I am scheduled for surgery Dec 30, with Dr. Scott Steinberg in Decatur. I think you have already had your surgery now... How is it going for you-I now you must be excited. I am looking for a spt grp here in the area where we can maybe get together over a healthy lunch and sure our experiences...

Hi tainabj, I had surgery on the 4th all went well came home the same day. I wasn't really in any pain just the gas pressure in my back for a few days. Getting up and down hurt a little at the port site but it really wasn't bad at all. Congradulations on your date . Dr. Steinburg has a support group at dekalb medical. Right now I'm struggling trying not to over eat before I get my 1st fill this is pure hell I'm hungry!:tongue_smilie:

I can imagine just what you are saying. I got banded yesterday & came home today. I am hungry already (lol). I am on the 3 wks liquids. Wow, this will be challeging. I have some gas pains & a little tenderness, but hopefully all will be ok in a few days. I will basically be doing this on my own; my 1st fill will be in about 4 wks too. How have you managed? :laugh:

HI everyone, I'm from Conyers and I'm new to this website. I'm considering surgery and trying to become well informed. I'll be a self pay. I'd be interested in knowing what other self pay patients have paid in Georgia. What do fills typically cost with surgeons in Atlanta? Thanks! :tt2:

Well my liquid phase was 7days I only lasted 5. The I started testing the waters with soft and mushies very small amount. I was fine for about a week . Then tried a little chicken. All went well. If I eat a cup of food I'm hungry again in a hour it doesn't last long, so I do eat a little more. Struggling with getting my Water in thats always been a problem but working on it. Still haven't had a fill thats in a few days and hopefully i can get some restriction and feel like i'm making process.:mad:
