Help!!

I was banded on May 30th and I am still in the liquid stage. My doctor wants 3 weeks of liquids. Anyway, I am starting to be able to drink more and more. Is this OK and is this normal.

I also worry constantly that my port has moved. My doctor said that he was a little concerned about the port placement due to some excess fat where he placed it. Is it easy for the port to move, or am I just being overly nervous.

Thanks for your help!

By the way, I have lost 20lbs since surgery!!!! YEA!!!!

Yep you are normal, as the swelling goes down it becomes easier to drink more liquids. Don't worry about drinkingto much liquids.

I also worry constantly that my port has moved.

I am 14 month post op and I still worry my port has moved, you are normal, I think most of us worry about that. Just do not over due it in the next week or so and you should be fine, let your incisions heal

Congratulations on being banded and your weight loss :)
