  1. Hello, I had lap band last January. Thou I have lost weight but have not been doing well. I have had a a port issue from the beginning. Which consist of constant soreness. It went further and I had sever pain and ended in the hospital in for 4 days. With no explanation of why. I have lost 40 pounds and am happy with it. I finally got approval for port revision surgery along with the possibility of removal of adhesion. I also may have a hernia and my band has been empty for a long time. I also have reflux bad. I have no fills since July. A lot of not doing well is partially my fault as I have no restriction and I am hungry. I hope this surgery helps and I can have a fill and get back into the swing of things. Has anyone have similar issues? Would love to hear from you.
  2. Has anyone out there had to have their port moved or as the doctors say revised? They are thinking that mine may have become loose and or it keeps pressing on a nerve. I told that it is a 1 percent chance that this happens. Not feeling to swift about this. Would love to hear from others.

  6. Hello, It has been awhile since I posted. I had lap band surgery done on Jan. 10 of this year. I have lost about 40 pounds and have not yet had a fill. I am starting to have a few problems I was wondering if anyone had anything similar to me. Where my port is, it just plai hurts when I move, not all the time but good enough. I also now seem to have bad heart burn. I take achiphex for that, but it does not seem to help. I went to the drs and they did a cat scan and I am waiting on that. I am becoming very uncomfortable and can't figure out why. I was hoping to have a fill, but I don't think that is going th happen now . Any suggestions I wou,d love to hear and hope that everyone is doing well.
  7. I am feeling like a total failure. I had my lapband done on Jan. 10. I was doing just great with no problems. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I stop loosing weight and honestly was sticking to what they told me to eat. Now two weeks later I am thinking why bother I am not loosing. I have a appointment this Monday to discuss a fill. I don't know what to expect if they do a fill. Can so one tell me wha t happens during a fill and also after. Do u think it will help me? I feel hungry noe where before I did not. I am hoping someone will explain what happens.

  9. Well normally me awaiting a snow storm I would be stocking up on junk.. Don't even have a desire to do so. Waiting for 15 inches of snow. And very high winds. They are calling it a blizzard .
  10. Mine looked very much like yours and itched crazy. Try not to itch the area. If not any better or gets worse call the dr. Mine stopped after a while.
  11. All my life I have never eaten healthy. Now that I am banded I am doing my best to eat correctly. Can you guys give some help? I am really not educated when it comes to protein. Can you suggest to me some foods that are high in protein that is considered moist? Thanks got your help,
  12. I wAs banned on Jan. 10. For some reason I just can't seem to get warm. Turned up the heat have layers on on the house. I have to go to the doctors to drop my blood pressure med down. If I stand up fast I get dizzy. Anyone else have any of these problems.
  13. I know the road are bad. The doctor can be reached by phone. I would call just to ease your mind. Don't get upset just check it out.
