My port is flipped but still accessible. It takes some manipulation to get my fills. An experienced nurse was able to get at it after another nurse had failed. I think it really depends on how comfortable the nurse is with moving the port around. My port sticks out (looks sideways ) when I lay down. Don't give up. Ask your clinic for a nurse who is experienced with difficult to reach ports.

Welcome to the losers bench. I was banded 4 months ago. I found walking up stairs helped with the gas. Get plenty of rest and drink your Water. You will be feeling awesome in no time flat.

Stalls will happen some will be longer than others, I been on a stall for 3months now yes its frustrating but we must keep on going maybe
increase our Water intake and Protein, ..until our bodies start to function again and it gets ready to start loosing pds,..just keep in mind while stalling we do loose inches.

Measurements are a must. Also but a pair of pants a couple of sizes smaller at a thrift store and try them on every two weeks. I also do a video log, it helps me remember what I was feeling and learning. Watching some of my earlier videos are a great motivation. Keep your eye on the long term goal. A stall will seem like a blip when you look back 5 years from now.

Hello I am in Mississauga and would love to meet some fellow bandsters. I was banded on May 9, 2014
