Hi Amy! Thanks for your note! It turns on my port was cracked..and he only had to make ONE incision and replace that, rather than replace the entire band. I think he affixed the port in a certain manner, because i surely feel the thing now...i had to press aorund more before to feel it! In any case, he only entered 3cc's at time of surgery, so i hope when i go on 2/5, he'll put a good fill so i can feel restriction again

Thanks for the support!

Hoping you're doing well! I had my port 'reattached' on new years eve only to find out once he got in that there was a leaky port! And he's moved to a new hospital and no port there! Luckily I was quite out by then so missed the mad rush to another hospital for one. Healing up well and came on to catch up and saw your similar story! I was banded on July 20 so I feel your pain. Literally. *gentle pats*

Hi there! Wow you did yours on new years eve? How are you doing now? Im pretty much healed..but no restriction at all yet. Hopefully soon! So thats 3 of us banded in July that have had leaky ports....what are the odds huh? I hope your doing well!!! Let me knowhow your doing! Thanks for the note!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
