My surgery is tomorrow also ?

I get night coughs. It not the contents of what you ate going into your lungs. Its the fluid from the pbing while you are asleep. I just had night coughs last night because I ate just before I went to be (even though I know I shouldn't). My chest has been killing me all day! It's not dangerous we should just really try not to eat within 3hrs of going to bed and we should really sit up for a while after eating. remember its all on gravity.

I popped my port stitches and it flipped. I remember feeling them pop at different times. I had revision surgery in Sept '08. it was wort than the original surgery! They had to remove scar tissue and an area under my incision site is numb on the skin but faintly sore inside. Now that the pain inside was subsiding I think I popped stitches again. I'm sore now, in this past month I felt that popping followed by pain 2x

I had my port replaced on Sept 9th. To me it was worse than the First surgery. After the first surgery, the pain went away after 4days. Here I am, Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I'm still a bit sore and the area is swollen. I would say I wasn't swollen before but maybe I couldn't tell under all the fat lol. At least I got a low profile port out of the deal. Cynthia

Hi everyone, I usually lurk on the different forums looking for my info on my own. My name is Cynthia and I was Banded on 02/12/2007. I can't lurk anymore, I need some support. I've had a few fills and I'm doing pretty good. My Dr (Dr. Shah, Lenox Hill Hospital) gave me larger fill last month because I really can still eat what he feels is too much. I can probably east a whole chicken thigh with a nice bowl full of veggies. Don't get me wrong I'm steady losing (except since this last fill last month). But I would have probably been down more if I could stop snacking in between meals. For a while I realy was getting hungery every 2-3 hrs. I am up to 3.2ml in my band. Now I'm not really hungrey but have gotten into the bad snacking habbit and still snack every 2-3hrs. Sometimes even if I feel full. I't's like I need food in my mouth. I have a thing for reese's peanutbutter cups, that is so hard to kick. That to me is a complete sabbotage (while I eat one now). I even went online today in search of some kind of low fat/calorie chocolate/peanut butter recipe but didn't find one. I just need help/support/info. What ever you can provide. I believe for is some what of a passtime for me. I am a corrections officer and we really have limited resources while on duty. Such as we can't read books or anything and there really isn't much to do except eat and sit. It is especially hard because I've been working 16hrs a day everyday of work since August. I'm looking forward to when Jan 6th come. I have built up time so I can be off for 5 months and I'm hoping to some physical activities for at least 20 minutes each day that I'm off and hopefully kick these bad habbits and get into a good routine. I haven't done so bad. I've lost 57lbs and only have 43lbs till goal but I gave gained 4 of those lbs in the past month. That can't go on. Be gentle while you guys tear me apart Cynthia 226/168/125 NYC
