Maegan I was saying that I think we had our bands around the same time and I would like to keep in touch with you and see your progress ect. You seem like you have done alot of good research !! And Thank You for telling me where my port is I have been soooo curious

Cmmcna@hotmail.com

I responded to u lifewillbegood via my email did u get my message very curious ?

Where is your port is everyone's placed the same spot? I feel a bulge that hurts really bad today 9 days post op it's to the side of my belly button on left side kinda low? I'm very worried that I pulled something at work? Is this normal it was not hurting until I we'll mt back to work it hurts to turn my body sit down ect! I'm so scared I might had messed something up??

Iam 9 days post op, I went back to work two days ago and I have to work the next four day'! No option I have to save Christmas my husband lost his job!!!!! I have a very sharp pain my left side across from my belly button I'm not sure where my port is but it's not a place where I have a incision but it is bulged a little and I feel like it may be my port ?? I know it's a very fragile time but believe when I say I have NO choice I have to go to work!! I'm a CNA for a elderly man I don't lift him but I do have to use a lil of my weight to pull (help)him up.i take it easy watch TV when he does ect , if his wife knows I'm in pain she will send me home but I have to have the money!! Does anyone know where your port site is? And is there something I could wear to help me ??

Omg 30 pounds down that's GREAT I'm 13 days post op and I haven't lost a pound since pre op!! I haven't been eating alot at all! Have u lost 30 since after the surgery? Am I doing something wrong??? U should be very proud u r doing great !! Keep it head up

I had a gas x pill stuck in my throat other day I'm 8 days post op I could breath fine though I drank some Hott coffee an it finally went down it felt like it was lodged in my right tonsil ...hope you are ok ?

I'm 8 days post op and I have weighed myself everyday and haven't lost a pound since pre op I I go to my two week appt on the 27th is this normal I'm feeling a little down :/

I was banded on the 12th dec and my dr has me on mushys??? I guess all dr are different wish I was still on clear because I haven't lost one pound since the 12th ??? Is that normal? I'm not eating alot at all ???

Omg I had the same pain the other day and it hurt soooo bad for like 20 mins until I took a pain pill and paced my street then layed on a heating pad! It was horrible i was going to go to the ER it hurt soooo bad!!!!Same place as your! I'm 7 days post op!

Uhg the chest tightness I had mine a week ago today and thank god it just went away like two days ago I thought I had pneumonia ! I hope it gets better soon I was able to burp alot so I think that helped me!!

I took a small gas x pill I got my band a week from today it feels like its stuck in the right side of my tonsil not my throat I tryed drinking water then hot coffee then tryed vomiting I can breath fine has anyone else had this problem in my tonsil feels like????

I do home health and my pacient is so sweet and understanding hopefully he will feel well and I won't have to do anything heavy!! I pray but I can rest alot there watch TV and even take a nap when he does so I plan on taking it very easy !!

Congrats !! Keep up the good work!! I had my surgery six days ago I'm hoping to have lost ten pounds by my first dr appt dec 27th

Thanks everyone! You all are so helpful I'm so grateful to have found this site I wish everyone health and happiness and great success

Congrats! I had mine six days ago! I'm still so happy but still in alot of pain :/ but I'm looking forward to the great reward!!

Do we all have five incisions sites? I didn't know if I was different because I had a major stomach surgery last year and already have a large scar in the middle of my stomach????

No I haven't I was told not to touch them for at least a week?? Is everyone's in a different place ?

It's been six days for me not five...I lost a day somewhere I guess ..lol

It's so good to hear I'm not the only one I'm suppose to go back to work in two days and I'm a CNA so I'm praying I don't do any damage to my port!!! Thank you all south for the support and Advice!
