Do you know when your port flipps?:thumbup:

I had my second fill 2 weeks ago. Im hungry and eating more than I should. I called the doctor office and the nurse told me that this was normal that the swelling has went down and that I wont feel restriction till my 3rd or 4th fill. I felt restriction for a couple of weeks with my first fill so I am lost. Luckly I havent gained any weight but I am not losing any either so I am very discouraged about that. I picked up my walking to a mile a day 5 days a week and I wasnt doing that prior to my 2nd fill due I was having issues with my back. I was banded on June 4th and have lost 29 lbs. I expected more by now but I know everyone is different. Just concerened since I havent lost any weight in about a month.

Thank you both. I was told about the restriction I guess I didnt understand and was surprised. After the first fill I felt restriction for about a month I went two weeks with out. I received my 2nd fill and only felt restrictions for a day or so but now I eat more than I have without realizing it till to late. I am working on it now since I see what I am doing. I guess the thought that I would be hungrier after the 2nd fill never crossed my mind. I have been reading on the board and understand a little more than what I did. I also think until you have it done and go thru it most of it you dont comprehend (or I didnt anyways) I am so glad I did it just want the scales to show more. Just have been discouraged since I havent lost any in about a month now and I can still wear all my clothes and they are not falling off are even baggy so it makes it hard. I see the scales showing the loss but I dont see it on me.

I was banded June 4th, the pain was unbelievable for the first couple of days then it was gone. It is worth it!! Just make sure you walk to help with the gas pains. Some days I feel discouraged over no or not enough weight loss. But I have never regretted having it done. No question it is an emotional rollercoaster of doubts and fears. You will be so happy when you step on those scales and see a difference. The pain will go away now I dont even know I have it and I havent had any pain in a very long time. If I remember correctly I only hurt for 4 weeks and that was minor pain it was just the first couple days after post op that is was severe.
