Could it be a hematoma?? Is there bump or one poking out where your port cut is?? I had one and it hurt soooo bad!!! Looked like a babys foot poking out!!

I was banded on Jan 20 and also had a hematoma. Mine was big. I went for my first fill and they couldnt get to the port because of it. At that time they took 54cc's of blood from it. I went back the next week to try again for a fill. They took another 43 cc's of blood out of it. Seems to be all gone now. The also told me the body would absorb it back....It had been more than 6 weeks and nothing. It also hurt pretty bad when I sat or wore jeans. If I were you I would ask them if they could drain it. Its not painful and didnt take very long...

Dont be !! You have lost a lot more than I have and without a fill. Today I dont seem to be as hungry and I have noticed a diff in the amount I eat. I will go back in 2 or 3 weeks for another if I feel I need one. Hope you are well and have a awesome weekend!

Please do! I went there last year for a seminar for lapband....Waited months before I decided to have the surgery. Im in Sugar Hill, right down from James Burgess rd, or I could come up McG Ferry. Thanks so much and I look forward to meeting you all..... Nikki

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! I got my 1st fill today! I went last week but they couldnt get to the port due to my hematoma. They pulled over 30cc's of blood out of it last week and 42cc's out this week. ITS ALL GONE NOW!!! Wooo Hoooo. Anyways, I got 1cc in my 10cc band. There was 2 cc's in from surgery. It wasnt bad at all. Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

Are you that stupid or just possessed by a retarded ghost? You sure dont live in the SAME world we live in...

Were you asllep the last 4 yrs of Bush???? Do you see what you type??? When Bush was in office gas was what at $5 a gallon??? Check yourself please. I voted for Bush, but im not going to lie just to make things look bad for Obamma. Get a grip!!

Its normal to feel that pain. I did for about a week. I felt horrid for about 3 weeks. Like you said everyday gets better. I had surgery on Jan 20, and I feel amazing. I found it hard to get even 500 calories a day. I drank Soup and ate sf Jello. Drank as much Protein as i could. Get you some sublingual B-12. They are in the vit section and are very small. You put them under your tongue for a few seconds and then swallow. Its teeeee tiny. Hope you start to feel better soon. I know what your going thru....Keep your chin up, it will soon be MUCH better!

Bolthouse Chai Tea or Mocha. Its at WalMart where the orange juice is...Its got 42g protein and they taste like Starbucks.............I love them

ok, no fill today. Maybe next week. I have a small hematoma and the nurse couldnt get to the port because of it. So I ended up there for an hour milking the blood out of the hematoma. Didnt hurt, nor did the shot or when she was looking for the port.....I hope next week I can get a fill.

If you have one, get it fixed while having LB surgery. I had a small one repaired during my surgery. Not a problem.......

Hi, I had my surgery with Dr. Hart, but thru True Results. Can anyone tell me when the next meeting is? Thanks Nikki

Awww, I wish you had seen it sooner! Congrats and keep me posted!! I go tomorrow for my 1st fill.......Im excited....

If you think thats bad? I will have to take a pic of my hematoma! Its soooo nasty and feels like a babys butt stickin out of my side. It has shrunk, but causes me a ton of pain. Its where my blood didnt clot and a pool of blood formed. Its a Bi%@*! They say it will absorb it self back into my blood system in time. Oh my surg was Jan 20th and its still here!!!!
