  1. I am 5 weeks post-op and have lost 20 pounds. A couple of days ago, I began to notice that when I bend down and come back up, I can feel something moving in my belly. It kinda feels like maybe the tube that goes from the band to the port. It is not painful, just a funny feeling. I have also noticed that since I have lost a little weight, I can feel my port more. Has anyone had a similar experience?
  2. I got banded on Oct. 7. I am still on liquids. Of course I have been feeling tortured because I haven't been able to eat anything. But yesterday, I was at a college football game with my family. They all wanted to go to a hamburger place. So, I had a small hamburger. But, I was not able to eat but half of it. Then after the game, they were all hungry again and went to get pizza. I ate one slice of a medium pizza. I feel so guilty today, because I don't want to interrupt my healing and mess something up. Please tell me there are others who have messed up this soon after surgery too.
