Tonyann,

WOW we have so much in common. I also was banded on July 9th and have a 14cc port (and in TX, Houston area)

Domika,I have discomfort with my port also. I can always feel it. Sometimes I feel pain but mostly just that its there. Itchy, pressure, etc. I do bump it a lot. I was told by my unit that a lot can effect your port. Air travel, weather, some people say heat can tighten the band, stress...we all have that, eh?...so many things. The most pain I had was 2wks after surgery when I decided to clean the house. WOW! I really messed myself up for about a week.

Hope this helped a bit.

hi kathie52, we do have so much in common! and i think maybe even our age ! I live in corpus christi,tx. its about 3-4 hrs from houston my husband sisters and brothers live in H-town! and about the port pain i still have it .but it seems it hurts after i eat and if i am more active then normal ! as for my band i still havent reached my green zone my dr. only adds 1-2cc when i get my fills ,i wish he would add more so i can get to the green sooner ! he says that when haveing a 14cc band most patients reach the green zone at about 7cc-8cc.if thats right i still have some time till i get there ! i currently have 5 1/2cc...good luck on your journey you can ffriend me so we can keep in touch!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
