Hello from Maine

shrinking__v

I was banded on March 19, 2008, by Dr. Renee Wolff in Portland, Maine. So far mostly good. Liquids going down great, started on blended food and that worked, but still in pain and using pain meds 4 days out, which I wasn't expecting. I'm sure that will pass soon.

I look forward to learning from and sharing with everyone here :)

Portland is beautifull! I was there last Feb when a friend flew to Maine Medical Center for specialized surgery. She flew from Wisconsin...I came several days later...right in the middle of a Nor-easter!!!!!!!

Hi There,
I just joined here. I am waiting to be banded by Dr. Wolf. I meet with the dietician Aug 6th. I have been doing the monthly weigh in's with my pcp and working hard at being patient through this process. It is hard to wait. How are things going with you?

hi, congrats on your band.

what kind of blended foods? the pain may be that since you are only 4 days out.

good luck.
