I've only been banded for a week but it seems when I eat it kind of hurts around the port area is this normal?
also how long before any of you had your first fill?

Your welcome...Valentine shows videos of the actual procedure, my husband sat there with his eyes closed while the videos were showing he can't stomach that stuff, LOL....I found it helped me to understand it further...I hope you will too.
What's you name, I'm Pattie...have a identical twin Paula, who got the bypass...i am so glad I didn't get that done...she lost 200 pounds tho, but she has all kinds of health issues...not from the surgery tho.
Good luck...I think you will enjoy Valentines seminar.

I live in Caldwell, Dr. Valentine just did my Lap Band a week ago, I go for a follow up thursday...my twin sister had dr Korn, I do not like him as well as Valentine, sorry...she had the bypass done 3 years ago she lost 200 pounds but she has a lot of health issues now....Dr. Valentine to me is a good Dr and has a great personality...he's not just out for the money as far as I can tell so far.

Hello, I'm not sure what I'm doing so please bare with me...I had my surgery a week ago and I saw somebody post that they had some pain where the port is...thank you for mentioning that because I have had some discomfort and wasn't sure if that was normal.
I know the first fill isn't til 6 weeks out but I was wondering how much did you eat once you started the full liq diet...it seems I am hungry not long after I eat is that the norm?
I don't know where I'm suppose to fill out the questions asked, so forgive me that you don't see much about me...will someone please walk me through it...thank you.
