Eviees mommy

Yes I have always been able to feel my port but never the tubing. Until just today. I would think that the swelling would have already went down a while ago?? IDK though. . I do drink alot of water but I will try to drink more before I call my doctor. I really dont want to see him until I have to LOL Thanks so much

By the way I have been banded for 10 weeks and have had three fills. Last fill was over three weeks ago.

Kbliss They really do fee better!!!!

Its always good to try, and considering you will have to loose weight usually 0-15lbs maybe more depending on your doctor but the problem that I had was my insuance required a bmi of 40 or higher. My doctor told me ONLY to loose 4lbs because If I lost 14lbs then my insurance would not cover it. So I would maybe wait until you find out what your insurance wants if you are paying that way. Best of luck to you!!!!!

I may not be the best person to answer this as I myself have not had a fill yet but to me it sounds as though you body has fianlly gotten used to the band and yea I think you need a fill so that you can loose. After doing alot of research and talking to alot of people who have had this done it seems as though there are alot of people who have some kind of food/foods that they cant handle even after years of having the band. Do what you think. Ask your doctor. I wouldnt go by the PA. Best of luck to you!!!!

Honey I felt the same way!!! Everyday for weeks I would cry thinking I wasnt going to make through and that I would never see my husband or daughter again. What helped me was this site. I stayed on this site for a week before I was banded. I read all of the blogs I got in the chat room and I talked to everyone that I could. I asked alot of questions and then I went back over all the papers the doctor gave and saw that the chance of death was like .05%. That in itself made me feel great. Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers. I am only five days out of being banded and can already tell that this worth it!!!!! Best of luck!

Thank you everyone for the advice. Yes my doctor did tell me liquids only. This Tuesday he is supposed to move me to a soft diet.... The grill cheese was just me being stupid but trust me I learned my lesson!!!! Someone asked if I have lost any weight. I have lost 7lbs since Monday so thats a great start. Thank you again for all the advice.
