Hi timeforme, at least he didn't remove your sense of humor:)! For aout 2 weeks after my banding, I had to use a pillow pressed to my tummy (port area) to get in and out of bed. It does wear off, eventually. Good luck and keep laughing. Hatmama

I was banded in Mexico. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Dr. and he is GREAT!!
He truely cares about his patients and is not in it JUST for the money. When I go to get my fill and I try to hand him money he tells me no. He wants to help people loose weight and be healthy and SOOOO different to the Dr.'s here in the US. My husband had knee surgery and maybe saw his DR. for 10 min after the surgery a year ago. Never calls to see how he is doing. Very sad how aragant the doctors are now and how they went into medical field with good intentions and now it is just money and we humans are just the money tree to them. I love my band and I love my Dr. who is a great surgeon!!!!!!

I had my surgery by Dr. Wellborn also. How cool is that? I think the staff and Dr. Wellborn are great too. I love the way he made me feel like it was not my fault that I gained this weight. He talked about the difference in people and how their bodies work. He is very caring and I love the way his wife gets right back with you no matter what time of day. I emailed her late at night not expecting a reply. It was not an emergency yet she emailed me back at 10;30. When I had my last fill Dr. Wellborn told me to call him no matter what time and he would unfill me if it was too tight. I walked out thinking WOW. I felt better knowing though that I did not have to suffer all night if I was too tight. I am so thankful to all these doctors that are doing this surgery to help us lose weight.
