I have 3 $500 off surgery if you go thru True Results. They have offices I know of In TX and GA. If anyone is self pay and going thru True Results please let me know, and I will mail you one of these coupons. Nikki Ryan :thumbup:

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!!!!

Awww Glenda!! Im sorry it hurt. And thats the last thing any of us need after surgery. I go for my 1st fill on the 26th and Im a bit nervous. Keep us posted on how this fill goes and if you feel full after smaller meals. Glad to see your doing good... Nikki

When I went to my 1st post op appt, my blood pressure was real low. Within days it was normal. They didnt say what caused it. But i was dizzy a lot.

I had the same thing. But mine was just around my cuts. I think its from the clear bandage they put over them. Mine lasted about 2 weeks. Nikki

I go on Feb 26th to see if I even need a fill. I found out that I have lost 16lbs since surgery on Jan 20th. I am soooo happy. I eat 3 small meals a day, and I dont get hungry in between meals. Im so happy that I got the lap band.....Im loving life!!!!!!!!!!

:w00t:Hey you guys, tomorrow is the big day and I have not slept in 2 days!!! I get so nervous. Nurse called today to ask 10000 and 1 questions. Im soooo ready to get this done. Please everyone who is getting banded tomorrow get us updated, and good luck. Nikki

Thanks Liz. Im a lil better now. After a shower i did feel better. I still have gas pains in my chest, and port site. I ate a lil yogurt today and some protein drinks. A lil at a time. I cant get even 2 oz in. Im sure this will change when the swelling goes down. Hope everyone is doing good.

At 4am this morning i was asking myself "why did I do this"! I was so sick this am, i felt like i was going to throw up. I dont know why, but I got up and took my meds to keep me from being sick. It wasnt a good feeling. I feel better but im still very sore. I sipped a lil broth and a lil water. But I feel like there is something stuck in the center of my chest. Anyone else feel this?

Girl I so feel you! I cant drink much at all, and im never hungry. I take a few sips and Im done. The only thing bothering me is my chest pain. Its not bad but its there! I do think its where they repaired my h/hernia. Hey we will never forget the day we were banded, it was a HISTORIC day! I couldnt wait to get home to see all the coverage!
