It takes the port site the longest to heal. I would guess six weeks. If it is red, swollen or warm, call your doctor as you may have an infection.

Wait for the doctor's input. I only had steri-strips so there may be a reason you have more. It is unlikely the port is under the bandage unless it is very large.

Keep the faith all! It does get better!

Please keep posting here. This is the greatest support group EVER!

Sorry to hear of your problems Michele. Keep seeing the the doctors and I pray they will make it right for you! Candace, not every one has bad experiences! Welcome and I hope you path to a healthier you go smoothly from here.

Good luck! If you are having stuck episodes without a fill you probably don't want another one just yet. Keep taking small bites, tiny bites even and chew, chew, chew. I had a tough time with what a small bite was I was so used to stuffing myself. If you do get a fill, stick to liquids today and soft foods tomorrow!

OMG Lassie, I never intended to poke fun at your name. Most of us on the trivia game are members of a social group, so I ASSumed this was one of our posts. I guess I made and A$$ out of me. Please forgive me. I was just harping because we have new members to the social group and I have not met them all. All of the Banded B's are very supportive and loving. Even if we are B' in private! So sorry to cause you pain. Thank you for coming back to tell us all how you felt! That takes guts girl and we respect you for it!

You go girl! You can do it!

Aren't we all! LOL!

I think avocado would be great! Also sour cream or plain yogurt.

Tomorrow is your day! I can't wait!

1!!!! Blast off!

Let's trade posts for a while. Where do you live?

Thanks for weighing in Jean!

I have seen lots of posts from pregnant banders. They will pop up eventually.

You will definitely find it when they do your first fill! Lay on your back on a pillow and poke your tummy up. you should be able to feel it, most likely above the largest scar.

Too late!

You got to start somewhere. Give up the sliders and move on. Take tiny bites and chew, chew, chew! I believe you can do it. We have all been there. Just start slow.

We can do it, we can be princesses! Yippee!

Only 14, now 13 to go.
