I am trying to get pregnant but I am worried about the port sticking out. I told some of my family but not others. I was wondering if anyone had pics of their belly and their port. I would like to see both either sticking out or not.

Thanks,

My husband and I have been trying for 2 years now. Over One year before I got banded. I wasn't very over weight before I got banded just about 40 pounds. I got down to normal bmi within 4 months. I talk to me doctor and he said we can start trying about due to nothing for the year before. I wasn't ovulating before and still am not now. As soon as I get my period again I will start serophene. I am young only 26. I hope that this works. Does anyone have any suggestions for me.:smile2:

Millie, I had to ask my doctor how much they put in there last time because she didn't tell me. To know how much is in there, they pull it out with the needle and then put it back in. Well at least that is how they checked it on me. I hope that helped. But if you feel like it gets worst, I would go in like I did and ask for another fill. It has helped a lot. I really feel it now. I actually pb this morning for the first time. I have to get use to what I can eat now because after the first fill I could eat whatever I wanted. Now I can not. Some things hurt.

I went back to the doctor on Wednesday two week earlier because I felt like my fill had been unfilled. It had my first fill was 3cc and when she checked to see how much was in there; it only had 1cc in it. She added 2cc more. It is going better but I still get hungry. She was going to put 3cc but it felt to tight. So she took 1cc out. I hope everything goes better for you. The doctor said that the saline getting out in normal.

Just got back from the Doctors for my second fill. My first fill she put in 3cc. When she checked it I only had 1cc left. She said that it was normal. So I got an additional 2cc. So now I have a total of 3cc in. I hope it goes well. I gained 1.5 lbs back. :heh:

New Daisy Thanks for your story. It is just so hard because I had a time line in mind. I am trying to call the doctor to get fitted in today for an additional fill. I hope that I can get in. I will keep you posted. Good Luck

I am feeling the same thing. I have only lost 12 lbs in about 1 1/2 months most of which I lost between preop and the first week. I only lost 1.5 lbs the next four weeks. I feel that even though I got a feel 2 weeks ago. I still feel hungry to. I hope all go well with you. I am going to call the doctor tomorrow to see if I can get a feel early. :rolleyes

Thanks Stef! Hopefully I can schedule another fill but it seems my doc wants to go every month. Since I am a self pay my first year of fills were included in my price. I really hope this has no bearing on my fill schedule. Good luck with your next fill.

I got my first fill on August 1. I don't fill any restriction. I don't fill full. The 2nd day I had trouble when switching from liquids to solids. Other then that I have been able to eat whatever. I don't feel full but make myself stop eating. I am sorry about your problems but I can't offer any advice but it feels good to know that I am not alone. Any suggestions on what can help.

I have gotten my first fill on August 1. I was hungry between meals before that. I haven't had any problem with any foods. I thought I would after the fill but I haven't. I was wondering if anyone is still hungry after first fill. I feel like I am always hungry. HELP!!:help: I did start with a lower BMI and was a self pay. I really never had a big appetite and now it seems I do

I just my first fill today. I was really scared thinking that it would hurt. It was nothing. Didn't even feel it. I also thought that I had gained weight but I lost another 1.5 pounds

Can you add me; I was banded on 6/28/07. I am getting my first fill tomorrow. A little scared.:cry

I got banded on June 28, 2007. I have been so hungry the last couple weeks because my doctor doesn't do fills until 6 week. I don't go until August 1. I hope I have lost at least some weight.

I have one scar that is starting to rise up and I don't want it to. Does anyone have any advice to help stop this process.

Does anyone have any advice on what to put on the scars to help them fade faster?
