Hey! Is there anyone out there ? I'm 25 and was just banded a week ago!! Lizz

Hi everyone, I'm really sad and freaking out. I was just able to feel my port without really having to press down much. I'm afraid my port was placed too high and you will be able to see it even at such an early stage in my weight loss ( surgery 1 week ago). I've been crying all morning is this really my port I'm feeling? Is this normal ? My sister has lap band And she has to press down two or three inches to feel her port Lizz

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone experienced sadness after surgery. I had been fine (except for Monday when I freaked about port placement). Yet today I woke up and I feel extremely sad. Like I was watching a video on the death of Robin Williams and although Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire were two of my favorite movies I usually wouldn't have cried over this. But I cried and have just been having these really sad thoughts about being 25 and having wasted my years being overweight. I also keep thinking of all of the foods that I want to eat but I have been very strict with sticking to my liquid diet (except a cup of popcorn that I had Sunday). I am a week out of surgery but I am just not feeling any different. Anyways, this isn't therapy lol. I was just wondering if anyone else felt sad after surgery.... And what did you do ? Feeling blue, Lizz

I couldn't find you I already had an account lol its lizzy_blike

I have been meaning to download it! I'll do that now and add you

RJ , . I know it's normal I'm just used to being happy especially when there's no reason to be down. You're right it's just an overall mixture of things and I am sure I will be fine. Thanks for your response, Lizz

Hey Katie! I totally get what your say I had lapband Aug 5th. I am still in liquids until Friday but I am so scared to progress to actual foods since I might fall off the wagon! Send me a message I would love to have a buddy in the same boat! Lizz

Hey if hotbutterfly already got what she needed I am starting to teach in September and soon my work wear will be too big for me! I'd love to take it off your hands!

You're right it is my new normal just have to get used to it. lizz

@@Annette Corrado You are absolutely right thank you for putting that in perspective for me. I'd rather have a high port then 200 pounds or excess weight... Thank you

@@CherieRyde you must know my surgeon personally he said the same and then said I'm not the thick in the area where it needed to be placed pretty much that I'm fine So chill Thank you for your response Lizz

Hi guys! I'm kind of freaking out a bit. I had surgery this passed Tuesday 8/5 and compared to what I thought I would feel I was doing great. I went out for a walk yesterday and last night I started having severe pain! Did my bad slip because I walked too much? Is it normal to feel as if I did too many crunches ? It hurts and when I press down on my belly I feel gas moving around. Any advice? Lizz

Thanks Sandy! I'm at like 85% still get very tired when getting dressed and showering though

@@Thrillrod I was banded on Tuesday. Do yourself a favor and get the gas ex strips fir the excess gas. Good news says 2/3 are the hardest (based on what I read and experienced). It will get better everyday. When drinking dong gulp or open your mouth wide to the brim of your cup. You'll be fine Hun Lizz

@@TxLee161 Hey! I was banded on Aug 5th... I move on to the next stage 10 days post op which would be this Friday. I know the feeling of thinking you've made a mistake! I was reading tons of posts about all the complications and started upsetting myself. I got over that QUICK when I thought of staying the same size! Now let's talk about this 20 pounds.... GOOOOOO YOU!! If you are staying hydrated and getting all your Protein in I don't see how that could be an issue. However, if you're still concerned give your surgeon a quick call. Best of luck doll Lizz
