    Anyone from Texas?

    I too was banded by Dr. Marsden, he is a awesome surgeon and person in general. I highly recommend him.

    Sore Around Lap Band Port Site

    I would say 1-2 after your surgery, you will have no pain unless you are having complications. The milk of magnesia is a life saver to use right after your surgery to get rid of the bloated feeling

    Sore Around Lap Band Port Site

    Hi there, I was banded in April 2011, lost 82 lbs so far. As far as soreness goes, yes you will be sore around the port site for some time just to the fact it is now attached to you. I would say by 1-2 months post op, you will feel much better. I lay on my stomach at night and at first thought I'd never be able to again, but you will no problem. I do feel the port or put it in an awkward position sometimes that makes a slight pain but nothing major. I started working out about 6 weeks after and lifting heavy weights about 10 weeks post op. anyways, good luck to y'all, if you have questions, feel free to ask me

    Pain whenever I eat solid foods

    I too am having this same situation right now. My first fill was 3cc's on my 14cc band. Then on this past Monday they gave me 3.3 more cc's. So right now I'm at 6.3 of 14cc's. I did the liquids for the first day after the fill, moved to soft foods and have been attempting to eat solid foods. I ate chicken last night and it got stuck and came back up. I really think my bite size was too big and I overchewed so now its just really irritated. I have the pain occasionally between my shoulder blades and am trying to just do liquids today like everyone suggest to see if it will get any better. Its a scary feeling, like I'm sure most of you know, so this is definetely something i'm not used to. If it doesnt get better to where I can eat solids at all, I'm gonna have some fluid taken out. Water and liquids go down fine though. I did actually try the water and meat tenderizer this morning, not sure how effective that is but I guess its worth a shot. Anybody else had any luck with that method?
  13. Hello everybody, my name is Jason and I was banded in Fort Worth, Tx on April 4th. So far my journey has been great! Other than the still lingering soreness and pain around the bigger incision, things are progressing smoothly. Glad to meet everyone!!

    had lapband today 4/13/11

    I took milk of magnesia to help with the bloating feeling and gas. It really helped me out within a 24 hour period. As far as the pain medicine, mine was in a liquid form so I had no problem taking it. Hope this helps!
