Hi,

Anyone out there from the eastern side of the state. I will be banded late December with Dr. Trotter. What about you folks.

Hi,

I have my appt with Dr. T on Monday and then will schedule for sure I am certainly ready to get there. How was your pain? That is my huge concern after surgery. Did you have any problem?

Hi deb,

I am doing great, I have no pain at this point and the pain following surgery was not much at all. I had pain for about a week, but it was nothing I couldn't handle, much easier than when I had my gall bladder removed. I see Dr. Trotter on Tuesday and I hope he upgrades me to mushies, I am getting really sick of liquids.

I am glad someone put up a thread for Eastern Washington. I am in Moses Lake. I was banded by Dr Fox in August. Everything is going great. I am excited for you to get your band. I did not think the pain was very bad. I took pain meds for about 3 days, then I quit because it made me so nauseated. I was still sore for a few weeks, but I am so glad I had it done.

Good Luck on the 19th, it isn't that bad. Much better about 4 days out. Hope you can make it to the support group on the 11th, it will be questions and answers this time and personal trials.

Motomom,

It's great to hear from a fellow November, Dr. Trotter Bandster. I would love to make the support groups, but I have a mandatory meeting on the 2nd tuesday of every month for my daughters school, however there is no meeting in Dec. so I am hoping to make it to that one.

How are you doing up until now? We are only about 4 days apart.

Ari,

I am doing great, all healed up and eating what I want. Can't get a fill until 6 weeks but am scheduled at 8 weeks. I am doing 1 1/2 hr. cardio 6 days a week and have lost approx. 20 lbs. How are you doing?

[pta2007 3]

Motomom,

I would love to talk to you in person, I have many questions about what you are eating now and about what Dr. Trotter has said about fills. Please call me anytime @ 927-2135. Thanks, Ari

Ari, what do you mean eating anything you want. Aren't you supposed to be eating, actually I don't ;know what, but I thought he had specifics.

Deb,

When I was telling Ari I could eat anything I want I was meaning not liquid or mushies not anything I want like calorie wise. Anyway have a super day. Hope to meet you at the support meeting also.
