Hi everyone. I hope someone can help. my surgery 4 weeks ago and have lost around 5kgs (11 lbs) I had an infection occur at my port site 2 weeks post op and my surgeon had to re suture after draining it and it's taking so long to heal. I have been on antibiotics for 10 days. I'm off to get my stitches out on Monday bit for the last few days I have has prefuse sweating and nausea every time I even drink something. my mum who has also been banded doesn't seem too concerned. but I'm not gonna lie it's scaring me cos I have had amazing results and don't want to have to part with my band. Is this normal what I'm experiencing? Is it my body adjusting to the band? Any help or advise is greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone for their responses. I was not filled on my surgery date but have had a hiccup throughout the healing process with a staph infection at my port incision site. I needed it re stitched to help with my healing. In saying that I have lost 5kg's (I think that's like around 11 pounds for those needing the conversion) in 3 weeks. And as I have only had one "moment" when I didn't chew a bit of potato salad properly... Didn't come back but it got stuck.. It's awful. I was supposed to have my first fill today but my surgeon didn't want to until the new stitches come out so a few days time. I'm excited and I'm so ready!

Hi everyone. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and have moved up to more dense foods, I feel as though I have no restriction as I am still eating without that feeling of fullness that people talk about and am afraid there is something wrong with my band. I lost some weight immediately post op, as expected from the swelling. But now 2 weeks in I am getting hungry, to the point my stomach rumbles! My BMI was under the average candidate (27) I'm wondering If this has anything to do with it. I'm Scared in going to put on weight that I lost within the next 2 weeks before my first visit back with the sugeon!
