Hello everyone, I am newly banded 10 days now. The first 3 days were horrible but I must admit things have gotten so much better. The problem that I'm still experiencing is a lack of energy. I drink my Protein drinks but I still get tired quickly. I plan to return to work in 4 days. Has anyone else experienced the lack of energy and did it eventually go away? My other issues are my incisions itch out of control and I can feel my port. Any suggestions are welcomed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all , I take all advice in to consideration. As for exercising, I am walking outside everyday. A little further each day. I have a follow up with my surgeon on Monday and I will be sure to address all other issues. Good luck to all of you with your weight loss journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for responding. As for the port, I think I can feel it moving. I can feel it shift when I lay on my side and when I lay on my back the side of my stomach area that the port is on feels "heavy". I believe it may just take a little time to get used to it but it's an awkward feeling. I will mention it to my doctor at my follow up on Monday. As for the itching... oh goodness! Some of the steri strips are still intact and some have fallen off. I assume that it's a mixture of the strips and dry skin that is causing these horrible outbreaks of itching. Again thank you for responding, this site and its members have been so helpful with my journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
