Thank you, thank you thank you. Got up again and started bleeding again and almost fainted, so back to bed. But I feel good and actually been avoiding the happy button for a bit.

question for you! I am having some pain at my port site. Can feel it under my skin--feels like a small egg! lol! Was planning to start walking tonight, but it causes pain when I move. Also hurts to laugh, sneeze, cough, or lie down with my legs out straight!! Anyone else experiencing this?

I was banded on march 13th and my port pain was there until just this past Saturday whe I was finally able to walk. So sorry I'm not sure when you were banded but it will pass.

Hi all. I've been missing for a bit & wow! Congrats to everyone who has been banded & goodluck for those yet to go.

I was banded 5th march & doing beautifully. Lost 6kg so far. I am wrapped. I have my first fill tomorrow & am a bit nervous. I am still on mushies. I cannot wait to dig my teeth into something that's for sure.

I hope everyone is recovering well. Everyday just gets better and better. :-)

Strange question...does anyone else get this? In the morning my port is very pronounced under

My skin. If I was wearing a tight shirt or a bathing suit I am sure you would see it. In the afternoon it is way less noticeable. Am I crazy?

Welcome back! Glad you're doing well. Mushies are sounding so good, I'm still liquids with 3 weeks left to go. My surgery was just a week ago on the 22nd and down a total of 23 lbs and doing well.

Violet I can't even tell for sure where my port is??!! So I don't have that problem,lol

Maybe yours just isn't settled in yet? Call your doctors nurse, she can give you an explanation probably. Hope you're doing well. Deb

Hi violet,

Im not sure when you were banded, but I can see mine and feel it. It about the size half an egg. But Since I was just banded 10 days ago, I was assuming it was normal.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
