anyone do the port revision under local and sedation?

stuck hurts its like something stuck in the middle of your chest and it takes time to pass, i have not got sick during this but i can tell you eat slow and chew well it the key to avoiding this it is awful its like I can't breath.I was banded on Mar 21 with a total loss of 37 pds to date.

glad to hear this thought I was doing something wrong, I had my Surgery March 21 2012, with 3 fills the first 2 did not make any difference at all, the 3rd i felt restriction for a few days after that back to square one, i can eat like a champ! example was able to eat2 pieces of chicken, little mashed potatoes and i cheated and had a small piece of cake (very bad) and a chicken strip all in one setting! so bad! anyone had fills back to back like this? how can i make sure its enough the next time around?

congrads! I was nervous as well, be ready for the second week that gets tricky I was hungry but now 4 weeks later and 20lbs lighter it is getting much easier!!!!!!!!!

dubai medical center in Dubai mall, has monthly support group...

If its your gallbladder TAKE IT OUT! the pain is the worst I ever had in my life during an attack, its an easy larposcopic job these days! went well for me.....

You sure made the right choice, have no regrets! I was down in the dumps 3 days after as well, it will get easier!

It happend today first time, i walked around and took deep breaths, all from eating to dang fast. was just a boiled egg.

I was banded on the mar 21. I have that pain at the port site from time to time. also i feel like i can eat at least 2 cups of food at a sitting, what about you?

Wondering if you are starving like me? my stomach is constantly growling! I guess every doc is different on the post op diet rules, I just started yesterday with the thicker Soups and sugar free pudding ( w/skim milk) but other wise stil on Clear liquids and honestly so hungry! well it shall pay off to be thin:)

Hang in there but really try to stick to the clear liquids for at least 7 days( or whatever your doc says) I also had my sugery on March 21st- I started out with clear liquids now I have moved on to the thicker Soups and clear liquids , NO SUGAR! after 7 more days on this will start mushies. I was starving at first now it is getting easier have lost 9 lbs so between that and the fear of messing up my band that is what keeps me honest!.... YOU CAN DO IT!

Thank you so much for all the info, it has really helped me!
