  1. when i had my lap band surgery i think its been quite a while. several years.
  2. i got the bruise when he stuck the needle in. i think its been about 1 to 2 week since my fill. the bleeding is way deep inside. if i put a q tip in the top is bloody not the whole qtip. i dyed my hair today. no odor just blood.
  3. ok so i have had my lapband over 2 years. i went got a fill and notice i have a bruise on my tummy. ok i was dying my hair and leaned over the tub to rinse my hair and leaned on the port it hurt a lttle. now the worried part is i am now bleeding a little out of my belly button. its deep inside the bellybutton what can this be i had have surgeries where they went in threw my belly button. could the skin inside be to thin from all the surgeries? should i be worried about this? i dont want to go to the doctor for somethign petty. i would like to hear what you guys think it could be. thanks

  18. i have a question thought i would see if someone might help. I had my vaginal hysterectomy 2 weeks ago i was left with just the ovaries. when i talked to my doc he had told me i had alot of adhesions, fibroids. he said he couldn't find my left ovary due to all the adhesions. i am confused by my pain right now. could it be from 1. more adhesions 2. i am still healing from my hysterectomy 3. i am having a mock like period and dont know cause i can't bleed? i am not sure if i am doing too much too soon ihave done laundry and dishes in to dish washer i know it says not to do too much bending but my hubby doesn't help much someone has to do something around here. let me know what you ladies are thinking why i am having pain it feels a little like aching pain. my doctor said that he wasn't sure but it was possible that my adhesions came from my lap band surgery
  19. i hope it isn't a little at a time i have 7 cc and it will take forever i have had my band since sep 13 2010 and i just got it to 7 cc. i hope it wont be another 9 months
  20. OK I AM HAVE MY HYSTERECTOMY AND THEY ARE TAKING ALL THE FLUID OUT OF THE BAND. MY QUESTION IS WHEN THEY PUT IT BACK IN DO THEY PUT ALL THE FLUID BACK IN OR A LITTLE AT A TIME?
