  1. Diedre, Thank you so much. That was really helpful.
  2. Does anyone else have a problem with being able to see the port. I also have a lot of pain which seems muscular. My doctor told that the port could become noticable if I lost a lot of weight. I was banded in May 06, so I am only down 30 (including pre-op) with another 45 to go. It is also so sore that sex is pretty much out of the question. So for my husband who was against surgery in the first place, this hasn't gone over too well. Sorry if that is too personal!
  3. Hi, I just had my first fill. It didn't really hurt, but I thought it was kind of gross. The needle didn't come out smoothly. I am sure I will get used to it. I didn't have to do a crunch, not sure why. I am looking forward to feeling some restriction, but the weight does seem to be coming off. Good Luck.
  4. Hi, I am new here. I am scheduled to be banded on May 4th. What are these awful PBs I keep reading about?
  5. Hi, I am scheduled to be banded on May 4th, and very nervous. What is PB? It sounds awful. Sounds like some of you drink with meals. I thought that was off limits, like it could make you sick. Thanks
