Hi, I was banded on 7-19. I was wondering is it normal to have swelling over the port site...or can anyone else feel their port? Thanks, Kristie

Hey Christie...have you moved on to the mushy stage or are you still on full liquids. I have started getting hungry. I was wondering if that was normal?

Hi Ryan, I was banded on July 19th. I was nervous too, but it really hasn't been that bad. You will be sore the first couple days to a week. After that for me, it was just following all the instructions that was hard LOL. I bet you will do fine and congratulations!!!
