  17. I don't know what is happening.i had my first fill two weeks ago and I have been traveling every day since.then. The pain from my port is moderately bad. The pain in my chest is slightly painful. Only after I eat though. My port bothers me almost all the time. Can anyone help me?
  18. I haven't had a fill yet and was banded 5/19 11 and tonight all the sudden I feel terrible. Shaky and sick to my stomach. Is that normal

  21. Thank u. I can't wait.
  22. I was banded on May 19th and my husband and I have an anniversary coming up. Can i drink wine? Will it hurt my lap band? I am super worried but would love a glass of wine to celebrate our lives together. It is our tradition at the same restraunt for 4 years. Please let me know as I am eager to tell him the news. Plus i hear that we get drunk faster. Is this still true even though i have no saline in my band yet? Thanks, Matheny
  23. Omg now I want to stop taking everything and just deal with the pain.
  24. What of banster, and what does it mean?
  25. I only drink water and don't eat much sugar. I just realized I haven't been drinking my protein shakes bc I forgot. I have been so busy with my five kids. Could that be the reason ?
