You can see the scar and feel it if you push at the spot. It feels wierd! Some people say that after a big loss that they can see it sticking out a little. Some have it replaced with a low profile port if this happens.

TRYSTELLE,

This has nothing to do with your post. I just happened to notice that you had your surgery July 13th and you lost 79lbs already???? Is that right? That is wonderful! What is your secret? I haven't been banded yet but I plan to get it done in March.

Don't feel silly, a lot of people have asked me if my port is visible from the outside. One person even asked me if there was a hole from the outside of my belly into my insides, like a trach in your throat or something! Just like trystelle said...I am almost a year and a half out but I can still see the scar from the outside but otherwise no one will be able to tell you have a port by looking at you. Someone even asked me if my port/band sets off airport scanners...it doesn't!

You will be able to go swimming after the incisions from surgery are healed.

Fills are like any injections, sometimes they hurt, but most don't.

      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!
