Get thee to your band doc. Port infections are not funny. Do you have pus or oozing? Is it hot to the touch? If so, don't waste another minute. It isn't normal to have an infected port. And it isn't good. Can you post a pic?

Please see your band Dr. right away, he needs to look at it to determin if it is a port infection. This is something NOT to pass even if it looks like something small. Take Care of yourself and let us know.

Okay, I found your other thread with the pic and replied. You may want to put this same info...6wks post-op...etc on the other thread so others will know. Someone will fix that pic for you soon, I'm sure. See you over there. Call your doc!

heya.. and congrats on your band.. I think it is normal..But like on this site I think you will find everyone goes thru so many different things. It is normal to feel like you are on a roller coaster. Your life is changing so you are gonna feel it. I feel like that alot .. my moods change day by day. I realized how much food affected my life and trying new ways to keep myself occupied. Hang in there !!!

I think my post op nurse described it best. You are undergoing the stress of surgery and recovery and while we are at it we are taking away your comfort (FOOD!). I just got my band on 4/25 and I feel a lot of weepy lately. It seems like I cry at happy endings and sappy commercials. Another one of my friends who had a bypass several months ago told me I am in my mourning period. I am mourning the loss of my food!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
