Hey Chan, my names is jeni
I had my surgery done by a different. doctor also, March 15 in Chicago, Il. I had a very hard start to the band but have not once regretted it. I had to return to the hospital for dehydration and for an infection i got from the antibiotic they give you after surgery.. And the whole time my doctor was so wonderful in explaining everything to me and always keeping in touch with me... If i have any questions he gave me his email and told me not to hesitation to use it... SO I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY PAIN OR DISCOMFORT ASK YOUR SURGEON.. THATS WHAT HE/SHE IS THERE FOR TO HELP YOU, AND DON'T BE SHY...because if i wasn't so open with him we would have never figured out that i had the infection and i would still be having the problem...
I am still in a bit in pain but it is getting better every day with the more activity i do!!!
Wishing you all the best of luck,
Jeni >
