Just been Banded 06/25/07

Hello all!!

I've been banded for just over two weeks and am elated with my results so far. I got mine done in Houston by Dr. Spivak for $13,000. I don't live in Houston, but in Dallas and I will travel down for the day for my fills. Even with the price of gas it's still better for me to drive to Houston for my free fills rather than pay a local doctor to do a fill.

I've currently lost 13 pounds and am hoping to reach at least 20 pounds when I go in for my fill in two weeks.

Good luck to everyone and God Bless!

Congratulations!! You are on your way, Baby!

How has the recovery been for you? Have there been any feelings/discomforts that you were not prepared for?

Hope you continue to have success!!

I was definitely more sore than "200 situps" as the doctor described it! That's a nice little fib they used. I had two children by c-section so I'm thinking this is a piece of cake. Also, I went back to work after 2 days. NOT SMART! After an extra day it was more tolerable but I should have taken the week off.

My only issue is that I feel the port when I move. Is this normal? I feel it tugging inside when I twist and it smarts. It's getting better and I don't feel it all the time now except when I do too much.

Good luck to you as well and thanks for the encouragement!
