I was banded 2nd of April and today my hair is coming out in LOADS!!!! So so so scary! Someone has told me to pack protein in and at the same time take biotin which I've started today! But has anyone had the same problem? What did you do!!!? Did it stop!? ( please tell me it did !) Thanks Lexi

I'm about 3 months out post op and for the last 3 days I've had the crappiest port pain It's like an ache sensation:/ and everytime I walk or move a little it hurts however, sitting here it doesn't hurt. Ah I'm super concerned that it could be potentially a complication Food is going down just as it should be! Just what could it be Anyone experienced this? What was the outcome ? Thanks guys !

Hi ruby, do you have a fb? Or email? Much easier to stay in contact that way:) happy to stay in contact

Sure:) Mr Goeff Kohn was my surgeon and he is at Cabrini Brighton:) also at Knox private. He's contacted through upper GI surgical group. He's honestly the best surgeon I've ever had. Where are you relocation to abs from ?

Yeah just in Melbourne CBD pretty much but they're everywhere

Hi Vickie! Do you have an email to keep in touch with?? Everything is going well! I'm just past Mushie into soft foods! I've never been more excited to eat scrambles egg...!!!!! Will still always love apple mouse though! How are you finding everything ? Any loss? How are you incisions ? -Lexi

Hi guys, I'm 3 weeks out and on my purée stage. A week ago my restriction was huge ! I would have 1/4 cup of liquid and be soo full.. Now I can drink full cups and not even feel full:( is it because swelling has gone down??? God I just want my fill :/

Hey guys, Lexi here! I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has comment on my 3 posts so far and given me their advice ! It's so amazing to hear people's inputs and realise I'm not the only one !!!! So again, thanks so much to the people who have helped me and wished me well! Xx

Hi! Lexi here:) banded 2nd of April 2013 and living in Toorak:) would love to chat to some follow Melbourne banders!

So I'm guessing that's usually after your first fill??? Thank you for the insight !

Hey guys, my names Lexi and I was banded 2nd of April 2013:) I've just come out of my thicker liquids to mushie stage ! Throughout the liquid stage I lost (including pre opp diet) 14 kgs which is amazing!! But I've come off liquids and not lost anything in the last week normal? Considering I haven't had my fill yet?? I'm still restricted too and eating hardly anything so I find it weird.. Just venting! I'd love any insite! Thanks !

Draven! Sounds great! Very appreciative of the advice! So good to know someone's gone through it too:) Where abouts are you located?

Woo thanks draven! That's really helpful! I just have to be patient! It will happen! Do you think things will change when I have my first fill too?? Because I'm feeling less and less restriction now:(

Thanks so much for the advice! Yeah I can't think about loss for the first 5 weeks it's all about healing:) I shall relax and focus on protein and recovering Take care !

Hey! I was banded on the 2nd of April, and I have just pass this phase. Let me tell you, it passes! I could hardly drink anything in the first two weeks, as well as thicker liquids were really heavy initially and made me feel sick! It's just the swelling around the band. Eventually, liquids like water will go down much easier and eating mushies will be the best thing you ever experienced! As far as not wanting food, I found it was fear that stopped me. I only ate because I had too because I didn't know how I would feel after:) good luck and the next week you should feel some relief Xx Lexi
