Hi em2, just want to reassure you that you are not alone. I'm about 10 weeks out and I still have occassional port issues. My incision is dead center on my fat roll and kept getting in the way. It does get better with time. I still wake up every morning with what I call "port pressure" and after I exercise I can feel it "ache". Saw my dr today for a fill and mentioned it to him and he said I'm fine. Keep us posted on how you do

banded 8/11..still so weak?
karenv replied to sweetkissez42061's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I definately agree with the other two posts. As long and you keep walking and doing your lung exercises, you MUST take it easy. I'm not one to sit or lay around but after my surgery I took naps daily. I miss them now. -
Hi and welcome to the banding world. You'll find lots of support and ideas here. Its good to do a lot of reading on the boards. I've been banded only2 1/2 months and things are going very well. I had my first episode of food getting stuck and it was a banana as well. Thought I chewed it up well, but I guess not well enough. Good luck and we are all here to help you along. God bless

This is too odd. I've had almost one full week of poor choices that ended up with a 3 - 4 gain. I'm so down on myself and like you have said, it's making me want to eat more. I hadn't been on this site in about that long and it was reassureing to see others go through the same thing. This was the first thread I read and it helped. Thanks to all of you who have posted to help each other, you are helping more people than you know.

LAXATIVES!!!! Milk of Magnesia to be exact. There are times during my weight loss program that I seem to "go off" and eat junk like chocolate, chips, mini marshmallows or whatever. I'm two months post op and struggle with this area. In order to counteract the poor food choices I've just made, I'll take a dose of M.O.M. Mentally I think this will help speed up the elimination of those foods from my body. I'm half way through with the second bottle since my surgery date of 6/3. I need some advice. Any takers?:thumbdown:

karenv replied to Jendela's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Jen, I'm a CT bandster (watertown) and had it done 06/03/09 by Dr. Floch. Welcome to the site and hope you find what you are looking for. People are supportive and full of knowledge. If I can be of any help, just ask. Karen -
HELP!!! I'm struggling and feel like a failure.
karenv replied to karenv's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks to you all for your insight, support and encouragements. I attended a support group this past tuesday night(first one in my area for the group that did the banding) and the woman who led the group was the psychologist that did my evaluation prior to approval. God is good. Along with the others in attendance, I was given a lot of "food for thought". She was very good. She's going to be helping in the mental part and not so much in the nutritional part. I will pass on any good pieces of info as I get it. Thank you all again. Karen -

Hi softbubbles, Your right we need to stop calling ourselves a failure but I think ( I know ) I put so much pressure on myself to get things right that when I mess up, I beat myself up terribly. I've known I do this but that is all I know how to do. I'm open to any suggestions on how to change my thinking. Let me know if you get any good tips. Karen -

Hi betrthnever, I took 2 chewable papaya enzyme tablets. They didn't taste too bad going down but I felt sick for a couple hours. It was a suggestion in the bariatric folder that was given to me by my dr.
