Thanks for the encouragement notes. I see my Dr next week. I am anxious to know what is causing so much pain & tenderness Also anxious to discover what "full" feels like Ill be patient. Even with the current setback, I am thrilled with the early weight loss. I hadn't been able to loose that much weight in 15 years of trying

I was banded in April 2007 by a reputable US doctor. I lost 15lbs before my first fill (May 07). After the first fill, I lost another 6lbs. Had 2nd fill in June 07 and have not lost a single pound since then. I haven't really felt "full" yet and it seems like I can still eat a lot of food with absolutely no problems. Within the past 2 weeks, my port site has become constantly painful. There are NO skin irritations or swelling though. But pain is increasing. Called Dr office and they said it's nothing to worry about, not concerned. Anyone else developed port pain and/or had weight loss completely stop?
