No, I had the tuck about 1 year and a half ago. At that time I thought that was the answer to my weight lose, foolish of me but I guess we live and learn.

I just had my surgery don on the 22nd so my port are is very tender. Right after surgery I couldn't stand up totally straight or bend over and hurt to get up and down. Now its still a little swollen. Mine is below my bra line on the left and any aches or pains I get are always on that side. Because of my tummt tuck my abdomen is to think so i think mine will always stick out some.

I was banded on MAy22 and I have been able to feel and see my port. I went for my OV yesterday and my surgeon stated since I had a abominalplasty my abdominal wall is very thin. So that kinda stinks but being over weight and not fitting into my cloths stink even more than that. One more thing I really can't wait to get off this liquid diet, and if we are on liquids why doesn't the weight come off quicker?? Cheryl 05/21/06-215 06/01/06-208.5

Thanks for the welcome!!!

Thanks, I am going to try to do better, the temptations are very hard sometimes but I paid for it last nite so I think I learned.

hello all!! I was banded on May22nd2006, so all this is new forme. I got sick of chicken and beef brith so I started with french onion soup no chhese or bread and wow it taste much better. My doc said only clear fluids for the first 3 weeks!! There are times I am so huingry and actually I have been spitting up tonite cause I ate ritz crackers and now feel like heavy chest pain. I get sick of sugar free Jello and ice pops all the time!! Doc said I can eat real foods on June12th. Seems so far away anyhow on my home scale I lost 9lbs but at the docs I only lost 5lbs and to me not eating anything but liquids well I feel frustrated. Well I wish everyone good luck and am open to new ideas!! Cheryl

I don't no if I qualify but was just banded on May22nd2006 and only lost 5lbs, I thought it should be more but I am very new to all of this!!! Thanks Cheryl

Hello All, I was banded on May22,2006, so I am only 9 days in. Had my first visit with the doctor today said I lost 5 lbs. My scale showed 9lbs but regardless I feel like since I am only having liquids I should have been losing more than that. Tonite I had a foul up, I ate chocalte and crackers and now I feel nausea and like alot of pressure in my chest but cannot throw up. It feels aweful. Also instead of chicken or beef broth I changed to french onion Soup without the cheese or bread of course. Anyhow I would love to meet you all and get some advice on all this. Look foward to chating real soon!! Cheryl
