How much did they fill you on the last visit? Just curious because I'm at 5cc's and feel no restriction yet.

Side Ache Pain around my port sometimes?? Very uncomfortable, is this normal? Banded 2/2/11

Yes it's right under my left rib cage around my port. It feels like I drank to much water and went jogging. It hurts but goes away. I wonder if it's gas maybe?

So excited for you! I just got banded on 2/2/11. It really wasn't bad at all, my stomach was just sore from my incisions. It felt like I had done a million sit-ups! Take it easy the first week and try not to do to much other than lay around. The first week I felt restriction just with liquids but the second week not so much (due to the swelling going down). My first fill was scheduled for next Thursday (2/27) but I called them and bumped my appt up a week because I have been able to eat pretty normal. They said you will always be able to eat more before your first fill than after your fill. Either way I lost 18 lbs already, so I'm doing something right! I had my first fill yesterday- 4cc's (piece of cake), Oh yeah...I was only out of work a week and that was plenty of time (if you have a desk job). Good luck and don't worry, it's an exciting process! Desiree
