Had a fall at 5 weeks



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

*not complaining for once - everything feels so good with the band and just started my first stall but not the issue today*

I had a fall where I landed on my side and I am wanting to know if this would be of any risk to the band slipping / port flipping etc at 5 weeks or would it be sturdy in place? I feel fine (was hungry after recovering lol) but when I read where ports flip etc idk the cause. Office is closed and will be calling Monday but if anyone has any advice greatly appreciated

Oh my my, girl are you sure you STILL feel okay? Yes definitely get it checked Monday, if not sooner, you have made a commitment to better health, don't want you hurt or worse÷

Just woke up slightly sore on the hip where the landing (good bruise) was and shoulder where the second landing was (falling up then down stairs) but re band port stomach etc I feel fine no pain or any discomfort. Not sure if there would be pain there if something went wrong. Monday definitely calling up to discuss but was panicked yesterday given 5 weeks out :)

You’re gonna be fine! They sew the port into your muscle under the fat

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
