Schedule for 5/21/14 Band over Bypass

[Sushikatz 4]

I'd like to connect with people having lap band around the time I am or anyone who has had band over bypass. I think we can all learn from each other and be supportive since we are going through the journey together. Thanks Debra

I had the lap band on February 17th here in Richmond, VA. I had a lot of pain afterwards from the port area.

I'm doing okay now but wear a midsection stretch splint over my stomach because a few weeks after the banding I somehow injured the port area... possibly tore the muscle a bit. OUCH!! It wouldn't heal so I had to get the support and I love it!! I wear it day and night except the shower.

I've leveled off at a loss of 42 lbs. since before my surgery (that includes the liver shrinking diet weeks). I get my first fill on May 12th.

I was banded on 4/24/14, my birthday! 9 days out I have lost a few pounds and now starting to feel hungry. Today ate Egg Drop Soup for dinner. Needed a change from broth.< /p>
