Help! I know the Dr said you could possibly lose some hair but I'm losing it by the chunk full! My dr did all the blood work and everything is ok! I am drinking and eating my protein everyday! Anyone have any ideas? Starting to get freaked out a bit!! Thanks:-)

I was banded 4 weeks ago and I have lost 20 pounds 18 pounds at my 2 week post op appt and only 2 pounds last week (but I did have foot surgery 10 days ago leaving me immobile) I go for my first fill next week thank god I am starting to feel hungry again....good luck to you!!

Thanks icebergslim I think I will check with my doctor as well but I'm happy someone else has felt this same pain(well not happy because of your pain:-/) someone had wrote that maybe one of the interior staples hasn't dissolved yet and could have come loose and was poking you? It's a horrible pain much worse than the recovery part itself...thanks for the input and best of luck to you:-))

I am having a sharp pain about 3 inches below where my port is. I had my surgery 4/3/13. The pain gets crazy if I twist or lay the wrong way. It almost feels like there is something poking me from the inside out. Any suggestions what this could be?

I am 3 weeks post op (surgery 4/3) I was filled to 5cc surgery day...I was given Percocet in a pill form and was able to her them down no problem. Everyone is different obviously so you should call your doctor!!

We were banded the same day:-) I had my staples out yesterday! I went through a few days of wanting to eat felt starving but it did pass...I followed very closely water ice chips crystal light was all I basically had first 5 days then went to shakes up until now I am only able to get 1 full shake down a day I'm sure it's not enough protein though! Stay motivated!! I lost 22.5 pounds at my first appt...how about you? (My starting weight was 246)

I lost 22.5 pounds the first week starting weight was 246 and week 2...9 pounds but I am having a hard time getting down 3 shakes a day so honestly I'm very tired....not a great thing either:-( good luck in reaching your goal for vacation!!
