I'm still in my fact finding stage while I attend these nutrition classes for 6 months....(oh brother....) I'd like to know about the fill port (if that's what they're called...my memory isn't so good). How uncomfortable/sore is it? Do you always feel it or does it just become like a part of your body after a while?

After you're done losing all the weight you want, does that fill port stay there?

Thanks in advance for answering my dumb questions. :confused2:

Hope this answers your questions:

1)How uncomfortable/sore is it?

Generally once the incision heals it isn't sore. Although it can become sore if who ever fills you is a bit rough.

2)Do you always feel it or does it just become like a part of your body after a while?

If I touch it I feel it right under my skin but I am not conscience of it at all.

3)After you're done losing all the weight you want, does that fill port stay there? Yes of course it is part of the banding system it will be there unless you have to have the band removed.

There is a site that explains the whole band go to lapband.com

      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.

        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.

      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!
