I was banded May 18th of 2005, I went 5 weeks out for my post op and check for a possible fill, I have lost 20lbs and did not get a fill because of so much lost in such a short amount of time.... (totally cool with this) My question is that I am having some discomfort in the port area kinda like a tugging and sometimes if I move a certain way I get a really sharp pain. Has anyone experienced this? I am seeing Dr. Spivak this thursday for a fill and I just want to make sure of what I am feeling and If it is normal or not. I can eat a whole hamburger and I am full for hours-sometimes all night. I figure I am not supposed to eat this much correct? I have not lost anymore nor have I gained anything. I also am very very tired, literally like a noodle some days. What is a good liquid Vitamin that one may suggest?
Thanks everyone
