  1. I was wondering, if any of you have the "low-profile" port ? And if so, any idea if its like the normal one...right under the incision, and how deep ? Thanks for the responses! John

    D Day + 9

    Hey Geo, I'm 8 days out with similar issues, and chewing Gas-X (look like tums) tablets or Gas-X strips have helped a ton. makes gas (both ends) happen within 2-5 mins of taking. Goor luck.

    Learning to be this size...

    Just after my first week, I have already STOPPED, going to the closet, grabbing a t-shirt ( 3 or 4 xl), putting my arms through the sleeves, STRETCHING it wider, then putting it on. Cheers

    Back from extended absence

    Jack: I've just started (1 week post-op appt today) and can "reallY" appreciated your well thought out and informative responses...I seriously hope you will stay around for a while, for all us newbies sake. Great work! John Oh, and BTW...do you have any information/opinion on the newer style "low-profile" port and the newer style band that is a tad bit wider and has no gaps on the inside ?

    Tennis anyone ?

    Just banded a week ago, but played tennis right up till surgery day (of course, with my weight, I only played doubles and iced my knees for 4 days afterwards) and was wondering if any of you played before...and how long you waited to play afterwards ? Thanks

    I'm New...

    Glad to find this site, have visited others...but like the "band-only" theme here. Banded last Wed (Jan 30th, 2008), cramping has been a bugger, but getting easier now at day 5. Wondering how many of you (new/old) remember if you had that "sticking feeling" when no matter what you drank or sipped on, it felt like it was hanging there, and then trickiling down eventually ? Thnaks!
