Some Concerns

Good morning, this is my first time using the lapband blog. I was banded May 27, 2010. Lost about 70pound. Being having a love-hate relationship with the band. My band portal was place on top on the belly button. Its very uncomfortable specially when i sit certain way or move. also with some clothes bc is on the waistband. Until today still uncomfortable when to the touch, probably were is place is the problem. On top of everything is got breast reduction a month ago and everything is sore, including my stomach, everything is crazy. The portal dont hurt unless I eat to much but sometimes I have like shooting pain after this surgery n have not being the same.. I saw my doc about 6 month ago n everything was find, beside those problems i guess is not mayor ones..Nothing is hot in the portal have not had any fever or anything just from time to time some shooting pains n just uncomfortable bc were is place.. I am praying that when my breast reduction gets more advance all the rest of my body gets better...still very tight shotting pains also, n some parts of my ribs n chest hurts, some brusing still exist...I dont think can take something else wrong at this point or going to the doc n unfill something...thanks

Did you ask your Dr. about where he put the port? That sounds painfull. My nurse said that if I eat too much or don't chew my food enough that I will feel a sharp stabbing pain right below my brest bone. That is where my stomach starts. You shoudl tell your Dr. what you have told us.

Thank you so much..He know were he put the port and why, he also repaired a hernia when he place the band. I dont have hurtburn or anything except when I bend or my pants rub on my waist line specially jeans. I have a short torso so Im guessing that is not many place he had to placed it.. Unless I eat to much dont hurt..I being trying to recuperate from my last surgery and I think that stir many things all over..I put myself on soft foods n liquids n limited the quantities..I being reading about slippage n erosion n I dont think that is happening..I dont drink anything unhealthy n water sometimes is a pain, dont like it..Doing a lot of water trying to flush everything bad of the surgery, pain med n stuff, being taking it easy no lifting or nothing to agreavate the healing process..I had no fever, no throwing up or nothing stuck in a while, well stuck about 3 months, when i went to see my parents n they dont understantd what the band is eventhough I explain to them, they are more concern I dont eat much..I dont know if that happens to you, but i lost the fun even meat, cant eat chicken, pork or steak, after the surgery i make myself eating extremely chop chicken with my mashed pototoes or in my soap..But u have to do what u have to do..Will continue monitoring this soreness n little stabbing pain by my left side, prob is nothing mayor but everything started after my surgery. the portal I read other comments of other lapband they they are placed on the same place as my mine have the same problem.. thank you so much, hope to hear from you or anyone that have the same problems. At this point my husband dont understand much n he dont want to get to much involved.. I guess.. have a good one..

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
