My dr could not find the entrance to the port. Is this normal. She told me to start eating about 1200 calories a day and to come back in 2 months, so now I have to wait 2 months until I get another fill. I currently have only 3 cc in my band. Since starting the pre-op diet on June 14 I have only lost a total of 12 pounds and she was not happy with that, she said I should lose alot more. Any advice?

She was going at it blind, she has never mentioned flouro

Hello all I was banded on June 29th and went for my post op appt on July 16th, I was not expecting a fill but my dr was like are you eating regular food? yes, are you hungry? yes then lets do a fill. It took several pokes for her to find my port but she ended up adding 3 cc's. I still do not feel restriction, she told me I wouldnt be getting a fill for a while and have another appt. Aug 9th. Should I call and move up my appointment as I am getting discouraged because I have only lost 3 pounds. Help?

So here is my dilema, I had surgery June 29th and then my mother in law passed away on July 2nd. I was doing well with my liquids until this happened. I started eating regular soft food on July 2nd because of the stress and then we had to travel to Mississippi for burial. I have not had any side effects (vomiting, sticking, etc) but was wondering if I could mess something up even if I feel fine. I am getting back on track as we are finally returning home tomorrow. I have still been losing weight. I am not looking for an excuse but someone who may have started the soft food early. For example I had some fish and mac and cheese for dinner. Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

I was also banded on June 29, 2010, I look forward to sharing my journey with you as well!
