Hi, I'm a newbie who just got my lap band on April 22nd. I'm still eating mushies at this time, although I have slipped up a few times while cooking for the kids. I've lost 30 lbs. so far, since I started the pre-op diet and I am scheduled to have my first fill on Monday. The incision where my port is located has not completely healed just yet, so I may not be able to get my fill when I'm suppose to. Has anyone else had trouble with their incision healing in a timely matter?

Thanks for the warm welcome. The itching finally subsided and I am doing much better now. I did have a problem with the large incision where my port is located though. It was draining and having a difficult time healing. The doctor prescribed me oral antibiotics and neosporin and this past Monday he said it looked like I was doing a fine job taking care of it. I'm scheduled for my first fill on May 26th, but the doc said he wanted to make sure it is completely healed before he would start filling my band. I'm crossing my fingers!
