Hi everyone i finally got my band on April 30th. I got to come home May 1st with a 102 fever:sick . The Doc said it was from me being put to sleep. That my lungs just needed a little exercise. And just as he said I started walking and useing a breathing treatment and i have not had a fever higher than 99.2 since. Dr. Lin from Atlanta Ga was the greatest. Did anyone else has this problem with the fever or did any of you have diarrea after your surgery.

Thank

Stacy:p

Hi Katie nice to meet you. I really did like Dr. Lin. Did you also have yours done at crawford long hospital? I live in Cartersville Ga. Were do you live? I hope somewhere near by so we can be band buddies LOL. I'm 32 Wife and mother of one. My little girl is wonderful she is four going on sixteen or so she thinks HA HA. My little girl and my husband are the whole reason i did this. Because i want to live life with them not just sit back and watch them. I'm 5'8" starting weight 243lbs and now as of this morning i was 227lbs my BMI was 36.8. And i really needed to do this why i was young enough to loss some of the ricks of surgery. I have not had my band long but i already know i made the right choice for me!!!please keep in touch need all the support i can get.

I was banded on Tuesday, but fortunately didn't have any Nausea, I did have a some liquid BMs the 2nd day, but other than that, no GI problems. I also have some shoulder pain off and on also, but nothing plain tylenol.

Good luck on your journey!
