banded on 6/26/08 getting my first fill on 8/11/08. does it hurt at all when they stick the needle into the prt, my port site is still pretty sore hopefully it won't be by then. do any of you that have had fills notice that you are less hungry? it seems as though i can get anything through right now (but i never over eat anything) that will change once i get a fill right? how does the Dr. know how much to fill? do they numb the area before they fill??? any answers would be very much appreciated. thanks!!:ohmy:

are you sure your port is not infected??? i just cannot believe that i am still in as much pain (doc says it's normal) this thing (surgery) whooped my butt......by the end of the day i am exhausted and just want to sleep

silly question for you but how did everyone get there little weightloss tickers at the bottom of your messages?

how do you get one of those weight loss tickers at the bottom of your profile? can someone tell me please? thanks, Lori:shades_smile:

hey there everyone, got banded on 6/26/08. got REALLY sick. my bowels backed up inside and caused an infection. saw dr. this last mon (7th) and she sent me for emergency cat-scan to see if i had an abcess, no abcess but huge pocket of air caught in my back and still LOTS of pain in my abdomin. lost 10 lbs in 12 days. has anyone else experienced as much pain as i have gone through. no fill for me until 6-8 weeks. i have also had the FULL feeling but just because i ate and drank together but i was also super dehydrated. just wondered how quickly others got well, or if anyone got sick like i did. i hope this pain goes away soon, almost 4 weeks out from surgery and still hurting. she but me on anti-biotics just in case.:cool:
