Hey! So I've noticed that the skin in the area around my port site is numb (I'm 2 weeks post op, by the way..). It doesn't bother me or anything, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Haven't been banded yet, but when I had my hysterectomy I had the same thing over my incision. It's just the healing process.

I'd still ask your Dr. That's why they make the big bucks.

I had knee surgery about 15yrs ago and my whole area by my incision is still numb to the touch, I could feel a pin prick, but to touch the skin, numb. I am sure it is all about the healing process and you should be fine. If you are freaked out, give your surgeon a call.

I have numbness but still tenderness so i am right there with you. I had a c-section 17 months ago (my second) and I still am numb over that incision so it is pretty normal I believe! Hang in there... I am basically the same as you, 12 days out!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
