Hey do any of you have heat at your port sight. Like where it sometimes feels a little warm. I know that is a sign of infection but I don't think that is what it is in this case. Every once in a while it feels a little warm. Also, do any of you sleep on your stomach just yet??

I hurt alot the first couple of weeks. Matter a fact the first week was the worst week after surgery that I have ever had. (I have had 2 c sections and a hysterectomy) I hurt really really bad. Everyone is different though. I did not dry heave but did have to stay in the hospital due to pain and weakness from anesthesia. (I really am not a baby either it just really was painful...have I said that enough??) Anyway, I never have had a problem keeping anything down & have only had a problem once with a pill that got stuck and came right back up. I never felt hungry until about 3 weeks after surgery & if I do feel hungry it takes very little to satisfy me. I think everyone is different so hang in there & if you feel the need to call your Dr. don't hesitate to do so. Even if only to be sure and to make you feel at ease. :confused:

Thanks threebeauties & good luck my fingers are crossed for you.

Thanks Dominicana. Have you been banded yet?

Thanks Jules!

Hi everyone! I am a little late with getting starting on this site but better late then never. I was banded on October 31st and have lost a total of 25 pounds. I have not had a fill yet and my doctor has not recommended one because he said I was doing great without one. I am a little nervous about getting one anyway so I am a little glad it is not necessary just yet. For those of you that have had a fill did you experience any pain during or after it??

Hi everyone! I am new to the sight and really have found alot of great info here. I was banded on October 31st & have lost a total of 25 pounds. My experience with the band so far has been great. I can eat everything that I did before just alot less!! Well I look forward to getting to know everyone. Lisa Starting weight 253 Banded Oct. 31, 2006
