If you are AT ALL concerned about your port or band you need to call your surgeon's office IMMEDIATELY and speak with some one there. They are trained professionals and know what the signs and symptoms to concerned about. Seriously, do not hesitate. DO not pass go. Do not collect $200. CALL YOUR SURGEON!!

I doubt if there is a problem with your band, but Tina's advice is great. From your banding date, you are finishing up a week of mushies, or at least that is about where my wife was, 3 weeks out. Most people gain a little when they start mushies and/or solid foods again. You are probably hungry because the swelling has gone down and you haven't had a fill yet.

Yup, call your surgical team and let them know you fell.

And if you just moved to mushy foods, then you are going to add weight because your colon is suddenly full of matter again.

Be kind to yourself!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
