inri09 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Found out I was approved today, will schedule a date for surgery tomorrow. I've been reading almost every thread on here over the last month or so. I know it's really a lifestyle change not an easy fix, so think I'm going in with reasonable expectations. In talking with my surgeon and through reading here, it sounds like the most common problem is pouch dilation. From threads, it sounds like some people get it ~1yr. after banding. I know that watching portion size is the key and hope I can keep from getting complacent. After waiting so long (had to switch onto wife's ins this Jan) I'm excited to finally begin and get the bandster hell behind me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
