My port is on the left , a little higher than my naval. And yes, I have a hard lump under my skin.

Congrats on your 1 year bandiversary. You are looking good!

My husband made corned beef in our pressure cooker. He then proceeded to shred it, like he does pulled pork. I had no problem eating it, my son, who also, has lpbnd, also had no problem. In fact, he came back for more later in the day!It was yummy!

Yes, but someone suggested "local"honey! It is helping me a lot. Seems that since the bees are feasting on the local flowers, it helps to feast on the local honey, too. best wishes, Karen

I ate hot and sour soup without the little stuff they have in it. It is wonderful as a change up! You can do it, it is only a short time! Best wishes! Karen

Not me Sharpie, Chrisseyisbetterin2014 had her doctor tell her she has a hernia!

Well I hope that they can find answer.

I agree with what everyone is saying! You do look fabulous and I wouldn't have known that you were ever fat. Great job! Karen PS: Thanks for sharing your pictures and story!

Are you eating to late, or right before bedtime? You sound like, maybe, you are getting an acid reflux. Best wishes to you. Are you in contact with your bariatric surgeon's office? Karen

Well, how ironic that you have a hernia and so now your wls gets paid for. Okay! Congrats to your hernia . Best wishes on your speedy recovery! Welcome to our site. Karen

Well, best wishes to you! You can do it, if you want to. Have you had a psych visit? My surgeon's office requires one, also a nutritionist. It helps to find out why you are self sabotaging. .

Looking good!

Yes, I agree with Healthynewme. My surgeon's office gave me exact list of what to have. As far as clear liquids, it said anything that you can see thru, so prune juice or tomato h\juice would not be clear. Best wishe, hang in there, you can do it!

Thanks angelface, best advice is to check with your surgeon's office..

Best wishes, I have seen wonderful results on others. I have not had it done. I know that I have seen people who have had the arm thing done, You get real nasty looking scars on the underside with that. Best wishes to you!

Yes, I lost about 1 size plus went from wide to med width.

What tmf said is sound advice. Just realize that the wine might hit you quickly! Just have small sips, as in tasting! But call your surgeon's office today to get the best advice, okay! Best wishes, Karen

Don't know, I think that you probably can, but check with the surgeon's office, too!

What terrydumont46 said, see your surgeon. This is not normal. Best wishes, Karen

You need to see a bariatric doctor, ASAP! It sounds like you have either a slip and or erosion. I am not a doctor, but you should not have these problems, best of luck. Karen

Yes, and other things like crackers, ice cream, and a lot of things are slider foods.

Possibly, have you been eating food? My surgeon always had us drinking liquids for 4 days following a fill due to swelling. But, I can't advise that that is the trouble. Try some gas-x, and if that isn't helpful check with the surgeon's office. Karen

Awesome!

I would never voice that one persons option is better or not as good as mine. everyone has to make their own decision. I hope that you and your frienemy can come to a mutual understanding before you dissolve this 10 year friendship. Good luck!

Oh yah! Time for my nap,too! Hubby actually just got up.
