I was banded 9/9 and had port pinching for about 3 weeks. It is totally gone now. But I see your Dr's point putting the port in the middle. Mine is on the side but most of my belly fat is in the middle, hmmm............

My husband and I belong to LA Fittnes and we both love it.This is really the first gym i am enjoying and look forward to go every day.

i was banded 9/9 11 and i am still on liquids, so should you to heal!!!!

Got banded 9/9 and have no problems. My port pinches a bit every once and a while but my doc says its healing.... I believe different pains come from gas build up. I have a couple band friends who complain about sharp pains like that but they do not last. When in doubt , pain or fear its always a good idea to contact your surgeon I have found the more i stay away from sugary drinks (like gatorade and juices ) the better i feel. My Dr has me on liquids for 3 weeks which will be over Oct. 1st, which is my B-day! How is that for planning! Hope to stay in contact with all sept. bandsters...

U GO GIRL

I was banded at the OCC by Dr Ortiz on september 9th. That was the day after a huge power outage in s. Cali which also affected TJ. I was afraid they would postpone my appointment but it was business as usually at the OCC. The Staff is great and my surgery was a breeze. I was in our hotel by 4 pm . I am looking forward going back for my fill.
