Im told what I feel by my port incision is not the port but scar tissue, my port has moved with weight loss, its higher up on my abdomen.

I have three incisions,one higher up closer to my breast where where im told my port is,then two lower one larger than the other

I was banded one week ago and had all the same issues but they are normal and it does get better, im feeling so much better just a week later. Just rest and take it slow. I just ate broth and any soup in the blender and popsicles are my bff! Good luck!

I've been given the ok to advance to pureed foods! I'm so excited to have pureed eggs and potatoes! Yumm! Banded one week Fri and 25lbs down!

Im down 24lbs since my preop diet started July 5th! Banded on July 15th!

Well I did and everything went well, Im able to drink without a problem but i am very weak and dizzy and am only able to sit up for an hour or two and then have to lay down, anyone else have his problem? I really want to get up and moving.
