I thought at one time I read someone had a port near their arm pit, maybe a little lower then the actual pit. I wonder if anyone has a placement there?

MY PORT IS ALSO ABOVE MY LEFT BREAST.

I WAS BANDED ON 9/2, NO RASH BUT WAS ITCHING ALL OVER.

Just curious as what people expect to lose right after surgery? There seems to be so many threads in the post band forum as to the high expectation of weight loss in the 1st month before a fill. So the question is how much do you think you will lose in this time period.

congrats!!!!

i WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE WAS EXPERIENCING BACK AND SHOULDER PAINS. i AM 3 DAYS POST SURGERY. aLSO WHEN i SWALLOW I FEEL LIKE I'M GULPING AND I HAVE TO BURP ALOT. I KNOW IM NOT GETTING ALL OF MY FLUIDS AND Proteins IN IM JUST TRYING NOT TO GET DEHYDRATED.

IM 3 DAYS OUT AND I CAN TOTALLY RELATE TO THE PRESSURE,BUT MOST OF MY PRESSURE IS IN MY CHEST AND BACK. i HAVE TERRIBLE BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN. IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS.

HEY ALL,

JUST A LIL NEED TO VENT FOR A SEC! IM 5 DAYS POST OP, AND DOING ALL THAT I CAN TO DEAL WITH THE HORRIFIC UNEASE IM FEELING! BESIDES THE GAS (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADIVCE IVE READ) IM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I DID THE RIGHT THING! I KNOW FROM READING A FEW POSTS ON HERE THAT THE FIRST FEW WEEKS ARE CRAPPY, BUT MY GOD, AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT ALL? I DON T HAVE MY FOLLOW UP TILL THE 21ST IF SEPT SO FROM MY SURGERY DATE TILL THEN, I FEEL LIKE A LOST CAUSE! I DONT KNOW IF IM GETTING ENOUGH Water, ENOUGH Protein Shake, ENOUGH broth, CAUSE I HAVE A CONSTANT PRESSURE/FEELING IN MY STOMACH! I FEEL LIKE IM NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THE RUMBLING IN MY STOMACH IS. IS IT HUNGER OR JUST THE DAMN GAS? AM I SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING Vitamins? AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS FULL FROM SIPPING ON 16 OZ BOTTLE OF WATER ALL DAY? I DONT WANT TO BE A NAGGING PANIC, BUT I FEEL LIKE THATS IS EXACTLY WHATS COMING ON!

IM DEALING WITH THE food COMMERCIALS AND THOUGHTS OF DELICIOUS FOOD BUT I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT THEY WAY IM FEELING IS GONNA GET BETTER! I CANT HELP BUT WONDER, IS THIS HEALTHY FOR ME? IM NOT PUTING MUCH INTO MY SYSTEM?

I GUESS, ILL JUST CONTINUE TO KEEP POSITIVE THOUGHTS GOING AND HOPE FOR GOOD RESULTS? IM JUST FILLED WITH A CONFUSED FEELING AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT! ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP AND MY APPOLIGIES IF IM NAGGING ABOUT PETTY THINGS IM JUST SCARED AND CONCERNED!

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!

Hello! I'm sooooo excited! My surgery is scheduled for September 2 in Texas. Any other September bandsters out there??

I WAS BANDED SEPT. 2ND AND I AM STILL IN ALOT OF PAIN. I HAVE TO sleep IN MY RECLINER IN ORDER TO BE COMFORTABLE. SO YOU ARE NOT ALONE. quote name='Lemise21' timestamp='1315098034' post='1659237']

31 yr old female from Brooklyn, NYC!! I 2 days post-op and still in a lot of pain. I'm excited about what's to come but nervous at the same time. If anyone can share their experiences with me so that I know I'm not alone in this I'd really appreciate it. Is everyone in a lot of pain the first few days post-op? HELP lol

SEPTEMBER 2ND YIPEEE CAN'T WAIT!!! ALTHOUGH, I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF SURGERY.

I will also be banded on Sept. 2nd. I had pre-ops done on Aug. 24th. I've been on the Sugar Busters Diet for 3 weeks. Can't WAIT!!!

Whoop whoop! We're getting banded on the same day!

I'm a little nervous about vomiting as well. One of my sisters vomits often, but I believe it's because she has not learned how to properly slow down and eat her food. I am determined to vomit as little as possible, even though I realize I will have to go through some growing pains as I adjust to life with the band.
