A few days ago I went and got a fill and saw the fake stomach with the band to show the patients. And the pouch was SOOO SMALL!! My dr says to only eat 1cup(4oz of Protein 1/2 cup veggies) but to me 1 cup seems like WAY to much? Does anyone else think that? Recently started freaking myself out about stretching my pouch. Yay me... -BriannaXOXO

Your Welcome (: -BriannaXOXO

sounds like a plan! i actually just strained my sacroiliac (lower back) so i cant do anything right now anyway. just my luck! thank you sooo much!

So should i not be doing any weights at the gym? im definietly lifting more then i probably should.. im a strong girl but i know i shouldnt be lifting so much so soon after surgery. So is my muscle going to heal its self? sorry if im asking silly questions!

So i just googled "fliud around port" and a thread from this site poped up from Bafranco having the same issue and they called it a "seroma"(which is what my dr called it also but i forgot the word) and sometimes they drain on their own and i think thats what happend to me because it felt like a small nectorine near my port and everyone that posted on there with the same issuse was only around 2 months post op. They just drain it 3 or 4 times till it goes away.. mines definitely gone down..

No he didnt say what caused it but he didnt seem to worried about it either?

i sure hope so!

Went to my band Dr. today I told him that the last week to week and a half I've been feeling a hard part under my incision and its been super sore. I figured I started working out to soon but my doctor said that it could of been Fluid build up around my port?(it's going away now) Has anyone ever heard of that? And has anyone went to go get a fill and your band/port was doing "push back" where it didn't let all of the fluid in that the dr was going to put in? My doc said that was totally normal. -BriannaXOXO

I'm new too. Didn't know what I was doing. -BriannaXOXO

Thanks everyone! -BriannaXOXO Preop weight 310 Banded 2/11/2013 Current weight 275 Currently 4cc's

I'm 6 weeks 1 day post op (:

And I'm a pretty strong girl so I was probably doing way heavier then I should of!

Wow.. Now that I think about it my port was fine until I did leg presses a week ago too! I only did it once and I haven't been back to the gym because I sprained my "sacroiliac" (lower back) I have an appointment tomorrow (:

It's probably to soon for my port to not hurt (6weeks1daypost) anymore but how long did it take for your port to stop hurting?

I only have 4cc in my band and I'm hungry all the time and I think part of that is because I have a really bad habit of eating when I'm bored... And especially have a bowl of cereal before bed.. Tryin to quit that. Going in for another full Monday 4/1 that's the first opening they had -Brianna xoxo

Most of the people that work at my office has said that their port has moved since surgery. With your body changing everything's adjusting and repositioning she said. Kinda worried kinda not.

I've only lost 30 pounds I think its my body trying to figure out how to hold its self up and my muscle is tightening up? From exercising I'm not to sure!

I'm 6 weeks one day post op Is it normal for your port to move? It use to be below my incision and now it's above and feels bigger?

My surgeon says if you feel the need to snack you need a fill!

Port talk! New here an I don't know if I'm posting this right..? I'm 6 weeks and 1 day post op 4cc's in my band and I have NO restriction is that normal? And is it normal for your port to have moved upward? It used to be under my incision and now it's above! Thank for the help! -brianna XOXO
