I have had my band for over a year now and I have recently noticed in the the past couple months some sharp pains around my port area and right and in the middle of my stomach (in my ab area). It is very painful and comes and goes. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing and was wondering what it could be? Thanks

So yesterday I went to see my doctor to have my 1st fill, well it didn't go that well. He put the needle in and sat me up to start drinking my water, well the needle came out... so he laid me down and went for my port again and tried putting the saline in and had to have his nurse get more saline, it just kept going in and not retracting like he wanted it to. So he is sending me to have a fill with an xray and he is going to inject some dye into it to see if their is a leak in it and if their is no leak then he will give me my fill and if for some reason my band is messed up....I have to have surgery again to fix it. I am nervous as heck!!! Has anyone ever had the same problem???

Thank you My doctor keeps the needle in while im drinking to see if he needs to add more saline or take some out... so he doesn't have to poke me again. -
Actually Unjury Protein Powder is the only protein powder I like... My favorite is the chocolate splendor

Get this thing out of me

My mom had her band removed and she was fine. She had got diagnosed with cancer a year or two after she had got her band and her doc took all the saline out of it. Well down the road she kept vomiting all the time and couldn't eat more than something the size of a grape and even that made her sick. She actually lost so much weight and almost starved to death. Until the doctor I have found out that her band ended up slipping up around her esophagus. He took it out and within a day or two she was fine and could eat without getting sick. So you will be ok, you do what you think is best for you and your body... you are the only one that knows your body and if something isn't right than you know what to do. I wish you the best of luck . ~Katy K -
Stressed out about gaining back a few pounds before my 1st fill...
Katy K posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I had my surgery on 02-15-11 and my 1st fill is 03-30-11. After surgery I lost 14 lbs the fist 2 weeks, then I kind of stopped losing weight and as I started eating solid foods I gained back 4-5 lbs. I keep losing it and gaining it right back. Now I feel really bad about gaining some weight back and I feel like im going to disappoint the doctor or someone else. I don't know anyone where I live that has the band, so I really don't have anyone to talk to and get advice. I just hate having the feeling that im gonna disappoint someone. Is it normal to gain weight back like this when you start back on solid food? Thanks~Katy -
Thanks for adding me
I got my band on 02-15-11.... so im still kinda new at everything myself. -
Your welcome. I don't have a start date yet, I just started my 3 month monitored weight loss for my insurance co. Then after that I will know if I get approved or not. I'm sure I will... I am over 300lbs, I have Spinal Stenosis, High Blood Pressure & Infertility problems. So I guess we will find out in a few months.

You look great... keep up the good work. I can't wait till I get the Lap Band so I can start my own journey. It's amazing to see you and others who have lost weight... it is good motivation for me
-
I am still waiting to hear back from the doctor to see if my insurance has approved it yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I am able to get it. I want to start making a positive change for myself and my kid's and husband. I've always battled with my weight and I have Spinal Stenosis, high blood pressure and infertility problems. I am ready for a "New Me"
Thank you again. -
Hi Joanie, thanks for accepting my friend request
You look amazing!!! I have to say you are an inspiration for a lot of people including myself. I am still waiting to hear back from my doctor to see if I am approved for the Lap Band, so till then I am trying to keep positive. Have a great night -
All I can say is WOW... you look amazing!!!! I think im going to use you as my role model when I get banded
-
Awe, well just think positive. I know people that got it financed... kinda like a car payment. But if you ever need to vent or just wanna talk I am hear. I know it is depressing, just think what the future has in store for both of us. It will be ok doll face

I figured it out
... Go to Customize Profile and find Settings & Options... click on Edit Avatar and go to the bottom and upload a pic -
I don't know. You have a profile pic, I would assume it would just show up. But if you go on your profile and under your profile pic it says customize profile... maybe their is something on there that can change it.
