Hello all, I was banded 12/07/07 byDr. Ortiz. Everything went great except me pulling my stomach muscles trying to pull my heavy bag over the boarder and in the airport. This caused me more post op pain than I think most people had because my stomach was really sore everytime I moved. I recommend packing light! So far I have lost almost 20lbs but it slowing down which is expected so my hope is to maintain that 20lb loss until my 6 week fill. Good luck December Bandsters.

Hello all, I was banded by Dr. Ortiz on 12/7-yeah but I am having trouble getting the glue off. I have been trying to gently scrub it off but it isn't coming off. Also, I have a blackish color all over my stomach and my hips from the residue. When is the glue supposed to come off the incision site and how do I get it off my stomach/incisions myself if it is okay to come off now? Any advise. Thanks.
