Did you have the surgery?

For about a month after my surgery, I would wake up about 2AM with pressure in my esophogus area. I would take tums but sitting up was the only thing that would give me relief. Dr. said I was eating too late, but I was eating at 6PM at the latest. Did not make sense to me. It has gone away now. I was concerned that it was heartburn and I did not want to do damage to my esophogus. He said it was just food that was not digested and it was backing up. So, there was no acid involved to cause any damage. If this is happening at night, perhaps eating earlier would help.

My port is above my navel. It is deeper under the skin than I originally thought. When I went for my frist fill, I was surprised how deep it was.

I had my first fill a week ago. It is very disappointing. I feel like I can eat just as much as I could before the surgery! I lost weight while I was swollen from the surgery, but have lost none since the swelling went away. So, for over a month, I have not lost a pound. I guess I need to call the Dr. and see about another fill or something. Anyone know anything about this?

I am getting some of the same comments. 2 people at the same outing said they were looking at me and something is different. I said it was my new hair style. I am 15 pounds down. Going to buy a new outfit today as I have a funeral to attend and my clothes do not look good. Hope I can find something as I am sorta between sizes. Congratulations on your weight loss.
