  1. I had my surgery in June 2008. I had excellent care in Park Rapids. My surgeon was excellent. I have had no complications at all! The haven't done that well in the weight loss but it's my own addictions and lack of exercise on my part! Glad I choose Dr. Smith!
  2. I can feel my port it is still tender and I am 7 mo post op. I don't know what it feels like to know it has flipped. If anyone knows this I am courious too! My port is below my left rib
  3. I am losing really slow like you I was banded in June. I've only lost 19.5 lbs. I do really well for a couple of weeks on exercise but then I slack off. I know I am not doing well because I do home daycare and I am a snacker. I am hoping I can stick w/ the exercise so it will move faster. I do weigh daily bc if I can I can catch it before it goes beyond 2 lbs.
  4. Thank you for sharing. I have been wondering about this. I am still tender in teh port spot. Bugs if I have been laying on it or if bumped. Also, it seems to be more tender if I eat to much.
  5. I was banded June 3rd and feel the same way tired all the time. I feel I eat plenty but have no energy.

  9. I added a 1/2 banana to mine and ice and that made it pretty descent.

  13. I was banded June 3rd. I had l alot of ichy I was told it is the healing process. I do have a question for you. Can you feel a large bump on your left side by your ribs. I think it is part of the band the upper part. Do you have this golf ball lump? I am chicken to call the doc!
