Hi everyone I was banded in April 09 and I have been having a wonderful time losing weight feeling fantastic about myself and having so much more energy. But last night I felt that my port was a bit sore - a bruised feeling and then I felt it and it seems like it has moved from where it was, ie above the scar instead of below. Is this normal? Has anyone else had this bruised feeling or the port moving this far into the banding? Should I go and see my doctor - there is an appointment booked for 4 weeks time, but just thought I would put it out there to see if this is a common thing or not. Thanks - love reading about how everyone is going. Well done everyone! Lou xox

Well done!!!! You have been such a motivator for me - (your blog) so you deserve every pound lost and more success to you!!!

Thanks everyone - I am feeling reassured. I will let you know how I go when I ask the Dr in a few weeks. Lou x

thanks plain - that makes me feel a bit better. It's the only issue I've had so it's not so bad :tongue2: Lou

What can I say but guys can be little ***** sometimes but girls can be to them as well. I completely agree with BEK1986 - walk in with your head held high, smile, laugh and don't let them get to you. If you want to dance and no one is asking you, dance with the old man - it could be fun! Thats what you're there for to have fun and life is full of surprises. You can't expect anything but surprises and thats what makes life so interesting. The cute boy may be watching you have so much fun but is too shy to ask you to dance - why don't you ask him? They have to put up with rejection from us girlys so sometimes they just don't ask. Live your life girls - fat, thin, or normal. Don't let your weight put your life on hold. Believe me I have done that for too long. Just smile and know that you are doing something about that part of things and join the party! xox

Hi - I was banded on April 24th and I had the most horrible chest pains last night - so I came on here to find out why. I obviously ate too fast and not enough chewing. Boy oh boy - thought I was having a heart attack :cursing: - not that I know what that feels like :cursing:. So - here is the good thing I have learnt a lesson and now I wont do that again. I had a Japanese Bento box - which I used to be able to inhale - yum yum, but yesterday could only do half - I thought that I no longer had any restriction so I would be able to do it. I am seeing my surgeon this afternoon and hopefully I will get a fill soon - haven't asked enough questions I have decided. But thanks for your help. :cursing:
