Hello and welcome! My port is on the right side and I sleep on my right side, never felt a thing. Best of luck to you!

Hello neighbor! Great job!

Maybe just ask him for clarification since you're getting conflicting information. I'll be interested to hear what he says.

For me, it was a time to get used to the band and let my body heal. I am now 6 weeks post-op and have had 3 fills and just now starting to see more rapid weight loss. Good luck to you!

Oatmeal and a banana almost every single day.

For the first time ever I was able to walk right by those sweet girls without buying anything or feeling guilty! That's major for me.

I've been getting fills every week for 3 weeks and feel fine. I think I'm close to the green zone now. I would ask for appointments closer together if possible. Good luck to you!!!

I was self pay also and only had a nutrition consult then I was able to schedule surgery. Good luck!!

Welcome and best wishes!!

I would say to get a good night's sleep, have a healthy protein packed breakfast and take breaks if you can. My first week back was a little hard, but it beats sitting home. Best wishes to you.

I'm 6 weeks post-op and going for my 3rd fill tomorrow. It's really nothing more than a little stick and its so fast. You will do fine. Good luck!

I'm running 6 weeks post-op and feel good. Listen to your body and your doctor. Best wishes!

The Vanilla Bean ones at GNC are really good!

GNC Total Lean shakes are really good!

10 days was plenty for me.

There are tons of protein shake recipes on Pinterest. Some of them look really good.

Yep, sounds like you ate too fast. It's a hard habit to break!

I had Lortab elixir and Phenergan, but I only needed Tylenol. I had a really easy recovery though.

It does get better! Hang in there and congrats.

I have literally gone from being hot all the time to freezing all the time. My thermostat is so confused.

My follow-up appointments are covered under my FMLA, as my doctor said I would need them following surgery which was for a serious health condition (morbid obesity). I would talk to your HR department. Good luck!

Tylenol PM?

Why the runny nose??

Welcome back and best wishes!

I was banded on the 11th also and I'm still swollen and have some pain at the port site.
