My doc makes me drink a cup of Water after a fill before I leave the office. Did you have to do this? Sounds like you're too tight.

Scheduling Fills With A Heavy Travel Schedule
i havent had a fill since mid-September due to my schedule and my doc's schedule. i think i would have lost more at this point if i had a fill last month, but i'm not in any rush. i think you'll be fine and you can get your 3rd fill when your back from traveling. (i'm getting my 3rd fill today hopefully)

Banded Monday Afternoon
I didn't feel myself until day 4-5. Everyone is different. Some people took 2 weeks to feel back to normal. Of course call your doc if you want some extra reassurance

Almost Feeling Ridiculed
Ugh. Sorry to hear that. That's why I told 2 people and luckily they didn't tell anyone. I know you were just venting. Hang in there. You did this for you and to get healthy. Good luck!

Banded Monday Afternoon
Normal. It's probably gas, so I'd take gas x strips and do some walking. Also, I know my right side hurt after surgery where my port is. It felt like I'd done 100 sit ups. Feel better!

- How Many Incisions Do You Have?
I have 1 in my belly button.- 2 Day Post-Op Question!
Did they give you a spirometer when you left the hospital ?- Port Protruding?
I think that's normal as you continue to lose weight. Eventually you may opt to have a low profile port put in. - How Many Incisions Do You Have?
