Thank you, thank you thank you. Got up again and started bleeding again and almost fainted, so back to bed. But I feel good and actually been avoiding the happy button for a bit.

question for you! I am having some pain at my port site. Can feel it under my skin--feels like a small egg! lol! Was planning to start walking tonight, but it causes pain when I move. Also hurts to laugh, sneeze, cough, or lie down with my legs out straight!! Anyone else experiencing this?

I was banded on march 13th and my port pain was there until just this past Saturday whe I was finally able to walk. So sorry I'm not sure when you were banded but it will pass.

Hi all. I've been missing for a bit & wow! Congrats to everyone who has been banded & goodluck for those yet to go.

I was banded 5th march & doing beautifully. Lost 6kg so far. I am wrapped. I have my first fill tomorrow & am a bit nervous. I am still on mushies. I cannot wait to dig my teeth into something that's for sure.

I hope everyone is recovering well. Everyday just gets better and better. :-)

Strange question...does anyone else get this? In the morning my port is very pronounced under

My skin. If I was wearing a tight shirt or a bathing suit I am sure you would see it. In the afternoon it is way less noticeable. Am I crazy?

Welcome back! Glad you're doing well. Mushies are sounding so good, I'm still liquids with 3 weeks left to go. My surgery was just a week ago on the 22nd and down a total of 23 lbs and doing well.

Violet I can't even tell for sure where my port is??!! So I don't have that problem,lol

Maybe yours just isn't settled in yet? Call your doctors nurse, she can give you an explanation probably. Hope you're doing well. Deb

Hi violet,

Im not sure when you were banded, but I can see mine and feel it. It about the size half an egg. But Since I was just banded 10 days ago, I was assuming it was normal.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
