Port Discomfort
Hello everyone I'm 14 weeks and it feels like every night my fetus would like to lie on my port causing major discomfort but when I get up and start moving around its back to normal again. I'm scared because if this is how I feel at 14 week can you imagine 20,30,40 weeks. Anyway I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I guess this is the price we have to pay.

HELP!! Going overseas for the summer & worried about not having restriction!!!!
Hey thanks for all the comments and advice!! Okay maybe I am freaky out just a little too much but when you start losing weight you get obsessed with it and that is all you think about. My tool has helped me so much and I hope that even without a fill for 3 months I'll be able to maintain.

HELP!! Going overseas for the summer & worried about not having restriction!!!!
Hey everyone I'm going to Spain for the summer from May until Aug. and I'm worried about not having any fill thus no restrict thus no weight loss and possible weight gain. Does anyone have any suggestion? Should I look for a fill doctor in Spain? I'm super scared of coming back carrying a few extra pounds!!! :smile::confused::biggrin:

Pizza
Hey bballmom I eat pizza every once in a blue moon and I only eat one slice and usually throw away the crust (just to much for me). But don't feel bad remember the band is a tool and everything else is up to you. Just take it one day at a time.
