DebRRT 1 Posted December 21, 2012 I was banded on 12/17, by Dr. Fusco. No nausea, no vomiting, gas not bad. Very happy with my care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebRRT 1 Posted January 5, 2013 My surgery was Dec 17. No issues at all post op, only lost 16 pounds so far. My first fill will be Jan. 16. Have been exercising for the first time in my life. I unfortunately got an infection in my port site, Dr thinks it is from a stitch inside working its way out. Very sore and little drainage coming from it. Was told to use peroxide on it three x a day. Looking better now. I am very discouraged with weight loss. I was one of those junk food junkies and a wine and beer drinker and have a big sweet tooth. Have done a complete 180 and can't imagine how the weight is not falling off. Hope the fill makes a difference even though I have followed diet to a T and not overdone eating at all.

dawalsh 919 Posted February 22, 2013 Hi, I'm from Titusville and was banded on 12/28/12. I was banded on the West Coast but need support because I don't think my fill is working. I am not getting that full feeling like I did last month. I had my fill Feb 6th and I'm thinking I should call my surgeon. Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawalsh 919 Posted September 26, 2013 What is cruise to loose? A cruise to lose is a special group cruise of WLS people who will join and travel on a cruise together with a couple of special guests. One of the guests is a personal trainer who lost 80 lbs herself and has kept it off. There will be food available on this cruise that may help you lose weight, what you eat however is up to you. I was banded in St Petersburg with Dr Rehnke. I could have been banded by Dr Fusco in Melbourne but he wanted $3800.00 cash upfront and Dr Rehnke accepted my insurance without a problem. I love my surgeon and don't mind traveling to St Petersburg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
