I can't feel my port
healthforlife replied to To be free's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to lose quite a few pounds before I felt mine. I think it was around 20-30 pounds. Now I can really feel it at -50 lbs. Others can also feel it. Keep going you'll get there. Ask your doctor exactly where he put it. The area mine is in has a little bigger scar than the others.:thumbs_up: -
i am also from no ca. i was banded 1/17/08 at first i felt like a failure because i couldnt do it myself. now i am so proud of myself for doing this. it's only been 3 weeks and 23 pounds but i feel sooooo much better and have hope that i can really do this. at least check in to it and see what they have to offer! good luck!

My insurance covered all needed for surgery and follow up. I am very lucky to have healthnet insurance. -
Banded on 1/18--feeling dizzy??
healthforlife replied to alldunn33's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats on your band! My date was 1/17/08. I have been drinking isopure, chicken broth, a little watery pudding, and thinned yogurt according to my doctor. I have been getting in a minimum of 48 oz over 12 or more hours and have not felt dizzy. You should call your dr soon. I think if we can get through the first two weeks life should get really good. Keep up the good spirits, it'll be worth it!:rolleyes2:
