  1. I'm 6 weeks post op and I am having occasional "pinchy sharp pain" at my port site. Is this normal? I have an appointment next week for a fill.
  2. Is there a nerve that causes this. Have had it happen 2 times & last time the pain was so bad it took hours to get relief
  3. Just had 1st fill Tuesday. Have an appointment in 1 month. My friend went back 10 days after his 1st for more. Is that normal?
  4. Banded 7/23. Down 11 since surgery & 21 lbs since preop diet! Hope it just keeps falling off. First fill today. 4 ccs total
  5. I'm three weeks post op & staying within 3/4 lbs since surgery. REALLY DEPRESSED about this! First fill will be Monday. Please advise.
  6. Thank you all for your words of inspiration. I have read so many write of losing 20/30 lbs fast & I want to! Only 18 lbs pre op & 3 wks out (still really happy of my little 18 lbs) So thankful of my new friend (my band) & cant believe I REALLY DID IT! Say a prayer for me & I'm praying for you all.
