First Fill Question
rdittmar replied to harleymelm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep sometimes that happens to me. I sometimes bruise and sometimes not. It's gotten to the point that the area around the port doesn't have much feeling so I really don't feel the fills with the exception of the pressure. -
Pain In Breastbone
rdittmar replied to georgeileen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I doubt anything ripped! The muscles and tissue is healing and you probably stretched them a bit further. Also depending on how large your tummy is now, when you bend over or move a certain way the weight of the tummy will sometimes cause a burning or sharp pain sensation. I'm speaking from experience in the tummy department! Just take it easy. Make sure you are also sitting down slow and getting up slow. Good luck the recovery time is quick. -
How Would You Describe?
rdittmar replied to jennygirl37's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So my big changes are grocery shopping, body perception, energy level, self esteem, calories. So basically I eat to live not live to eat. -

5w4d pregnant with the band
rdittmar replied to gabeekeeper's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
umm no that's not what all banders have to do!! I am 12 wks pregnant and my OBGYN has delivered alot of banders babies... she said it all depends on the pregnancy like usual some are vaginal and some are C-section. My advice to you is find a OBGYN that has experience with lap-band patients. Mine has experience with all three bariatric sugeries!! Congrats!! -
I felt very bloated for at least a week after the surgery. Also for some reason my stomach was more bloated a poked out on the right side. The dr. said it was because of the air that is injected during surgery. It will all go away and yes you do need to walk alot!!!! I even had pain in the arms and shoulders from the air. The calms down each day..... Congrats on your surgery... :thumbup:
