dream to be slim

hi carrie , I am new to this forum having just placed my frist post . Like you I have had pain in port site area and had barium xray which confirmed in correct place but did not enlighten on cause of pain which when it occurs makes me fill quite ill , unlike you though I have been sick on occasions sometimes it is the only thing that makes it pass , sometimes I wonder if it is trapped air if this is the case sucking a mint helps disperse it but not always .

Hi my name is dream to be slim , After years of struggling with my weight I decided to have a gastric band , something I never thought I would do , but in desperation decided to do . My surgery was done after much research at Nuffield hospital brentwood , Essex, uk on 23/11/2012 . I had a 10cc band fitted , not sure quite what my current fill level is as their is some uncertainty , but believe it is approx. 5.5 / 6 ? I have had various fills and unfills , the times I have had some taken out is due to pain I have had at the sight of my port , [ where bra fits ] sometimes really bad causing me to be sick / feel sick . I have lost 3 stone since my surgery but feel it has been a real slog , I have told very few people except close family , meals out are a big worry infact I dred them and big get togethers , as I have on occasions eaten very little and ended up in loo with pain /being sick , which I do my best to hide but does not make a pleasant experience so do my best to avoid . Does anyone else out there have an experience like mine ? I need some support as It has been getting me down , a barium xray proved band in correct place but at the time with some fill removed showed no restriction , more has been put in since . Any advice/suggestions/help greatly received .
