Good luck!!

Checking in at 156

I was banded in May 2012 and traveled 3 weeks later. I still had some soreness around the port (it was an active vacation) but overall I was ok. No issues on the plane. I agree w/ the other posters who say just be careful what you eat. Follow your doc's plans. I didn't tell anyone I was with about the surgery and no one could tell anything was different. Have fun!

I just had to look it up. What caused it? What were/are your symptoms?

Checking in a day late at 156.9

Congrats!!! You look great

I eat it as a snack often. My dr didn't say it was off limits

Yes it happened to me last month. Awful!! I kept to saltines and liquids for almost a week. To avoid dehydration I drank Gatorade. I also made sure to give my doc's office a call since the vomiting can be dangerous w/ the band.

I'm 11 months post op and STILL learning. It's hard.

do you know how/why it was stretched?

they're reporting that his doc made house calls for him Must be nice!

I have a bump but it's not too noticeable. I've heard some people eventually have their surgeon put in a low profile port after losing weight.

Agree w/ the other posters. It's totally normal. I was the same way. Excited and nervous. It'll be here before you know it. Wishing you the best!

So great! I like to keep a couple of pairs of 'fat' pants to remind me of how far I've come.

Awesome job!

My doctor did not require it but I did one for the week leading up to surgery. I ate high-protein and clear liquids only the day before surgery.

Amazing!

Wow!! Hope it all goes well.
