I was banded 3/19 am down 20... Had my second fill today and have 7.9 in a 12cc band... I don't have restriction either, I know they say it takes time but I am getting impatient!

I had my first fill on Monday, I feel some restriction for sure.. I ate lunch a little too fast and boy did my band tell me! It's a learning process... Now my question how much restriction should I have?

Just thought I would give an update. I was banded 3-19.. Have lost 26lbs to date, I feel incredible so much more energy! I walked a 5k yesterday I am happy to report my incisions are healed and I no longer have any port pain! Just challenging myself to be better everyday! Ready for a fill...April 29th!

I haven't had any problems but curious what it feels like?

Thank you everyone! I am 10 days post op and still on mushiness... Always hear people talk, nice to get an idea!

How about 10 inches of snow in MO we got Saturday! It got up to 39 today!

I have a constant pull at my incision site, no pain anywhere and I have spent the last 3 days in the recliner..did anyone else have this? I can't sit up, I have to stay in a relaxed position to get the pressure off

Age:32 Banded 3/19/03 Starting weight:292 Pre-op weight: 277 Current Weight 268 Goal Weight: 180 24lbs down! And I feel so much better!

I really struggled the first 5 days...day 4 was the emotional day.. I am at day 7 and although I don't have much energy I feel more like my self!

I was feeling a little more hungry.. So I took some Tyson's ready cooked ckn and added it my soup before I puréed... Gave me more protein and actually only got 3oz down.. Might be worth a shot!

Too funny! I just posted that I am on here mores than Facebook! Love it! Great kinda think a like!

Thank you.. I was really stressing and my emotions were getting the best of me yesterday! So glad I have this site! I actually spend more time here than Facebook!

I took it easy again today, and my husband insisted I go to wal mart with him if for anything else to get me out of the house and do some walking... Guess what? I sat upright in the car for 10 min there and back, no problems... I came back home and am back on the couch taking it easy... But very optimistic!

Talked to Drs office. They said most people take 1-2 weeks off and everyone is different. That is the incision that people have the most tenderness with nothing to be worried about and to take a few more days to heal. They are going to call me tomorrow to check on me and if its not better by the end of the week they want to see me.

Just found this page! I am day 6 post op... Today has been great other than some pulling at my port site when I try to sit in the car! So glad to see so many doing well! Cheers!

Go girl! Glad you are doing so well!

Stay positive! I was crying myself after my boss had me scared... Then I thought.. What the heck would she know about it? Girl we are all here with you... I don't know you personally but would give you my number and we could just chat!

Awesome! Proud of you! Doesn't it feel good to do something for you?

Ok.. Am I just being a baby or is this something to be concerned with... I can lay comfy.. Stand comfy but if I sit like to sit in a car.. I have this pulling at my port that I can't bear...I called my boss to tell her I was going to need more time and she has me freaked! Gonna call my dr in the morning, but some reassurance would help.

I cleared it with my dr, she said l can alternate with a child's dose.

I am 6 days post op having the same symptoms, although today is my best day yet. Today I decided to just try ibuprofen and Tylenol for discomfort and so good so far! I too still have port discomfort and can't sit in a chair, reclining or standing up is most comfortable. Heat feels great! I was to return to work tomorrow but that won't be happening. It's not that I am in so much pain .. And I would do it again, my body needs more time and I am going to give it all that it needs.

Good for you! I cried and had a pity party for myself, then a great friend callled me and we played a game online together and all of the sudden I realized I can get thru this and this is just the test to see how strong I am! I am still flat on my back 3 days after surgery, and not seeing me get out of this recliner to make it back to work MondY! Keep your chin up! We are in this journey together!
