    Issues....help!!!

    Hello all, I am almost 7 weeks post-op (surgery 8/20/09) and 30lbs are gone forever!!! :tongue: Having issues. My first fill 9/30 and it was a nightmare. The woman doing my fill hurt me while pushing on my belly looking for my port. The she filled 3cc and could not swallow then almost passed out!!! It was crazy. Then we stuck me a 2nd time and she removed 1cc. Felt ok but still having problems eating during some meals. My biggest problem is that at 7weeks post op my port incision area still hurts. And it feels really thick like I have a bump right under the skin. And I still cannot sleep on that side without it feeling like my insides are sliding over. After UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to get in touch with my surgeon, I have to go see him tomorrow and get it checked out. I am really frustrated. What else can go wrong? I am having really good results so far but I hurt the majority of the time..:thumbup: Anyone help... if you have been through similar... Thanks

    This was the hardest part of the whole day

    I cry looking at it now!!! No you are going to need their support throughout the entire day. I look at this picture and it makes me cry because this baby is the reason I live and breathe everyday and the main reason that I got the band. He is 10 and I am not going to miss a day of his life because I could not run or jump or move... or worse because I'm dead... I did it to be fair to him.... You will be fine!!! Seeing your kids before the surgery will make you go into it and come out of it just for them..... Best of luck right back at cha!!!!
  10. Wait til this weight comes off....... I have a huge butt!!! It looks so small because of that MASSIVE BELLY!!!
