2ndtime around 2 Posted February 25, 2016 I am just a week and a half since surgery. I had the band did 8 years. Like many, mine did wonderful at 1st but then turned into a nightmare. I got to the point where no food would pass. Now I'm sleeved. And I still feel that same feeling especially trying to get my shakes down. I was told there is swelling where the band was. Has anyone else had this issue? Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IrishGermanRN 151 Posted February 26, 2016 It will get better. I was told there were calcifications where the band was. So glad its gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndtime around 2 Posted February 26, 2016 Thank you. In general, do you know when your swelling started to subside? Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
