It's been 2 mths since I got my surgery however, I noticed that at the site of the port, I constantly get bruising. It goes away then comes back. Is that normal and will it eventually stop coming back?

Sept. 11 is ny next appt. I will definitely ask him because it looks ugly. Hopefully someone will have an answer for me before my appt. Thank you

Thank you to all who have replied to my post. I'm glad to know I'm not alone on this and there is hope. Not to mention the great input I've received. I'm glad I found this site and posted as I am feeling motivated already.

Oh great. Thank you

I agree. But that's why I got the band, because its so hard to control myself. But I know I have to put in more of an effort. I guess I just expected an overnight result like when ppl get the gastric sleeve or the bypass. But I'm hopeful!

Anyone in Miami, Fl looking for a lap band buddy? I sure could use one!!!

I'm from Miami and got the band done 6 weeks ago. I got my first filling this Thursday however, I can eat just as much as before. I have anxiety and it makes me wanna eat so that's what I do. I've suffered from anxiety all my life and figure this would help. So far I feel discouraged. I haven't started working out yet because I have been working 60 hr weeks so I'm exhausted. Also, I'm guilty of making poor foods choices. Anyone have any pointers? I have to make this work.
