    Losing friends

    People are very weird. It's like they aren't happy if you aren't suffering with them. lol I think you have the right to be hurt and concerned about the friendship. I think I would plan a night and ask can they come. If not, maybe then talk to each one and voice your concerns. I know it's not fun to make waves, but not knowing and just hoping it'll work isn't always the answer. Family stuff can get in the way, but they didn't invite you to a party? I'd be ticked. I think I'd tell them that you miss them and are worried that something happened b/c we just aren't doing things anymore. Maybe they are jealous and not liking the new you? Are you talking about the lapband all the time? I think being honest is hard like ripping a bandaid off, but asking them will get you an answer. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

    Prickly port and scar pain 2 yrs out.

    Ok, I'm trying not to freak or anything lol. It's just really sensitive, like if I lightly run my hand over it, it's a bit painful, like a fresh scab. No extra workout, it's not an inside pain, it is clearly an outside feel. I've been too dang gassy lately.hmmm Thank you all for responding.

    Healthy foods that go down a tight band?

    yogurts, crackers with tuna salad or chicken salad. Chili is good and so is taco meat with beans and cheese.

    Gum?

    My doc said I could chew gum. I don't because it causes gas in my stomach.

    Women, were you told you'd become more fertile?

    I think the only way you become more fertile is the weight loss which would regulate your estrogen and hormone levels. If you happen to have other issues causing infertility then it wouldn't affect it so much. I think it's smart to wait to get pg so that you can lose as much weight as you can. Any weight loss could possibly make you more fertile.
  9. I woke up yesterday and my port area and scar are kind of prickly painful. It feels like it did when it was healing and scabby. It doesn't really hurt inside. I haven't thrown up in ages. I'm probably ready for a fill, but I have put it aside. What could cause this? I start getting myself all in a bunch, b/c I haven't had issues in a longgggg time. Oh no redness around it either. I feel my port, but it feels like a lump, I can never tell if it's flat or not. It feels normal.

    Phrenic nerve pain to left shoulder blade

    I get that kind of pain around my back on the left side. If I've waited too long to eat or if I over eat. I get gas pains or some kind of pains right there. I have to gasx myself to death. lol

    So Upset

    I'd be ticked too. 1st off, stand up for yourself. If asked, I'd say, "I didn't tell you, b/c you treat me like @$@#$ and make me feel like @$@$#@" "so why would I expect any support from you?" Then I'd lay down the rules. I'd tell them that you will not allow any disrespect and/or persecution. YOu will not put up with it. Don't let anyone treat you like crap. YOu don't deserve it.

    Champaign Illinois Anyone? Central area?

    I'm still here! I'm from Mt. Zion, near Decatur. I'm down 75lbs and kind of stuck here for awhile, but I don't think I've been working as hard as I need too. So really it's my fault. It's been slow, but I've never felt better in my life!

    Faking comorbid conditions

    I did not have any co morbids really except for the obesity factor. I didn't have to jump through anymore hoops but the 6mth diet. Check with your dr. and the office staff to see if they know your insurance.
