I'm 6 weeks post op and I am having occasional "pinchy sharp pain" at my port site. Is this normal? I have an appointment next week for a fill.

Is there a nerve that causes this. Have had it happen 2 times & last time the pain was so bad it took hours to get relief

Just had 1st fill Tuesday. Have an appointment in 1 month. My friend went back 10 days after his 1st for more. Is that normal?

Banded 7/23. Down 11 since surgery & 21 lbs since preop diet! Hope it just keeps falling off. First fill today. 4 ccs total

Thank you all for your words of inspiration. I have read so many write of losing 20/30 lbs fast & I want to! Only 18 lbs pre op & 3 wks out (still really happy of my little 18 lbs) So thankful of my new friend (my band) & cant believe I REALLY DID IT! Say a prayer for me & I'm praying for you all.

I'm three weeks post op & staying within 3/4 lbs since surgery. REALLY DEPRESSED about this! First fill will be Monday. Please advise.

My motivation is my three babies! My oldest has senior recognition Nov 7 & my goal is 30 lbs by then & 90 by graduation. I want her to be as proud of me as I am of her! Also want to live for all my children every minute God will give me

You'll do great! Youre closest friends after surgery will be pain med & a rice bag. They're there to help you .... let them. Praying tor your special day

Thank YOU! I'm on my way to the store now

Having a bit of a problem using the bathroom. Ive been drinking A lot of water using milk of mag & even miralax powder. 3 wks post op & MISERABLE. Thanks for suggestions

I was banded 7/23 & feel the same way! I even called today to beg for my 1st fill. They said no of course. So ready for 8/21. Im too hungry to have been through so much & I'm scared of gaining back

I'm almost 3 weeks post op & have pain in my shoulder every day starting late afternoon until I go to sleep

DO NOT REMOVE THE TAPE (its holding your skin together) I'm 18 days post op & my tape is just now coming off. Congratulations on your band!

My Dr told me 2 wks post op

Im 10 days post op. Feel great & down 19 lbs! Rice bag was my friend for shoulder pain. Day 4 life became a lot easier. Congratulations!

I'm 6 days with my band. I literally have to make myself eat. Usually protein shake for breakfast. Lunch sf pudding Dinner sf yogurt! I love to eat & have never been this way. Great not to be hungry! You'll do great!

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. I KNOW this will work! It was just Not what I was expecting & really threw me for a loop. I really appreciate ya'lls support

I'm day 6 post op and I'VE GAINED A POUND! I'm REALLY upset. Anyone else experienced this?

We're Twins ! I was banded Monday too! I don't think Ive lost any yet but I hope it starts soon. Dr appt wednesday & my friend got his 1st fill on his 1 week appointment. Keep me posted how you're doing.

I was banded 5 days ago. Shopped for school supplies today ! Only port pain remains. So happy for all of us!

My 2nd day was the worst! I think its the depervation of food. Kinda like losing a friend. After that I was weirdly calm till surgery
