Hi all,Had my band fitted March 4,2014 also hiatus hernia repaired at same time. Today I went for my 1st fill and had 4mls inserted. Was a painful experience as she could not locate port to start with?? Apparently it is in my crease????? Above my belly button. I have been told they have changed the way things happen ie,That I wont start to lose weight till week 8??? This sort of threw me since I`ve lost 3 kilos (( apparently I did this myself,Nothing to do with band. Yeah go me (being sarcastic)) Just wondered if its the same in the U.S or is this just england?? And when will this pain ever stop??? Thanks in advance for your input much appreciated. Debs

Hey Jaredboyd,Just looked at you weight lose. Surely thats not just since you had the band fitted????? You`ve done amazing anyhow I still have a lot of pain especially when I drive and my op`s were start of March 14. I find it eases slightly if i`m sat completly upright. I dont drive too long at the moment but am hopeing to return to bus driving after 6 months post op. Hope your pain eases soon All the best with your weight lose journey.
