Does everyone have to wait 6 months

well I had the surgery, just no band! LOL (I've got the 6 holes to prove it :biggrin:

Doc said to stick RELIGIOUSLY to the preop diet and he'll try again 8/29!

I can say for me, post op pain is non-existent (and he said how I do now is how I'll feel with the band) so that's good. A few tylenol and I'm good to go!

Thats good! I am glad you do not have to wait a long time to have the surgery again. But, it sucks to have to go through surgery and not get it complete, glad you are not in alot of pain. Good luck to you!!

YES , go ahead and start go through your insurance company and find out all the requirements , then pick your gastric surgeon find out all her/his requirements 6months will fly by before you know it. and dont miss any appointments.

sorry this happened. So now does that mean you will have six new holes the next go around? I don't think they would reopen the old incisions would they? Doesn't sound good for healing purposes.
