Hi everyone, I have had slight pain where my port is located for a few days now. Today I noticed it is red and swollen and I know this could be a bad sign but i'm not sure. I am not in severe pain only if i lay in my stomach, or move in a weird way so I dont know how bad this could be. Any thoughts? Please let me know if anyone has had this happen to them I am very worried and scared.

OKAY SO, I RECENTLY GOT BANDED, AND I AM HAVING SOME TROUBLE FIGURING OUT WHAT TO EAT AND IF IT WILL HELP OR HURT MY WEIGHT LOSS. YOUR RESPONSE WAS SO INFORMATIVE BUT I AM STILL A BIT CONFUSED, WHAT SHOULD I LEAN TOWARDS AND WHAT SHOULD I MAINTAIN AWAY FROM? PLEASE RESPOND! I AM VERY LOST!

Hey everyone!....My surgery was done on 3/31/2011 and I have lost 20 lbs. since then, I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow to see how much i've lost but my weight loss slowed now that I have soft foods. I feel afraid that I won't lose anymore when I go back to solid foods, is there any advice anyone can give me on how to keep shedding inches and pounds post surgery?

Hi everyone! I'm 18 and today is my 2 week mark since having the gastric lap-band surgery. I just kind of wanted to know how much success everyone had at 2 weeks? Last friday I weighed myself and have already lost 18 lbs I will be weighing myself again today. Is it normal to feel nervous? Now that I have had the surgery I feel really afraid to not lose weight, I guess I am just anxious, but I know weight loss takes time. Any advice on how to not feel so anxious? I would really appreciate it. Love, Stef.
