I just had my first fill 2 days ago. I just ran 2 miles on the treadmill...and my port area is very sore....is this normal? I'm a little worried.

That's possible...I hope its nothing serious..

I just had my first fill 2 days ago. I just ran 2 miles on the treadmill...and my port site is very very very sore....should I be worried or is this normal??? I'm really stressing out!!!

I get a side ache..

Yes its on my left side as well. Should I be worried..or just assume its a sign of being full?

It seems like lately I've been getting side aches after I eat. I'm just over 2 wks post op. Does anyone else have this problem...or know why I'm getting them?

What did u eat?

That happend to my aunt after her surgery...it was a latex allergy....u might have had the same reaction....

Hello, I was wondering if anyone in the San Diego County area..has had the lab band done? I'm having my surgery done in Texas..but I live in San Diego...I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good Dr for my fills...?? I appreciate anyone's help...! Thanks, Kristi

Hello, I'm having my surgery done in Richardson, TX on the 23rd of March. But I live in San Diego, CA. I was hoping I could get some reccomendations for a Dr here in the San Diego Area for my fills? Does anyone know of a good Dr they would reccommend? Thanks soo much! Kristi

***..OR PPO?...i was also denied...because in my insurance stipulation..i had to be at my current weight/BMI for 3 consecutive years...which to me is horrible..and NOT standard of care. Its very frustrating and emotionally draining..hang in there...because there are alot of options.

What insurance do you have?

Cowgirl, I love to run...and usually work out 5 days a week. When do you think I should start running again..maybe 2 months to be safe? also..what about push ups, and sit ups...should I wait on that too?

Cowgirl, what did you do to have a port revision? How did you push yourself too hard?

thank you everyone for all the advice. I do have a great Dr...i'm getting my surgery done at True Results in Dallas...and they do have a whole team behind me..including a nutritionist. I just wanted to reach out to people who are in the same boat..or have been in the same boat as me. it's amazing...how much were all alike on here...! Such great people..!

I agree..Sherry is a real motivator for sure...thank you soooo much!

thanks Deb...ok i see what you saying and couldn't agree more. I just want to get the surgery done...so I can start my new life..!!
