tarajane 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Why such a large incision? is that from the port site? I am being banded in a few weeks so getting quite nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JMO 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Cograts on being banded... I don't have any input on your question because I to am to be banded in two days. But I wanted to ask about your port area. R they all this big? I thought they were like 1-2 tops? Why is yours so big? don't mean to take over you thread but I am also getting nervous!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B4by Ph4t 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Hi Guys... Well I cant be 100% sure to why I have such a longish cut as I didnt realise it was that big untill I got home so I couldnt ask about it..I see my surgeon on the 4th so I will find out then.. Although I went to my local gp and he seems to think that maybe they had a slight problem getting to where they needed to go so they made it a little bigger but again I cant really tell you that much untill I see my surgeon... JMO I don't think they are meant to be quite this big ?? I looked at others incistion photo's on this site and mine for some reason does look a little bigger but dont let that freak you out JMO Banded 2moro how exciting for you.. Hope all goes well for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers :clap2: Congrats on your banding!! :clap2: It has been a long time since my mushy stage, and I have forgotten most of the things I was eating. But I do recall I had mashed potato (with garlic, light parmasan, and light evap. milk ((drool))) Thick thick Soups (The little tins of cambells pumpkin Soup, cream of chicken and pea and ham are great) Toward the end of my mushy stage I remember having warmed up mushy wheet bix (real mushy to start with) Sorry I am not of more help.

Again ty :jaw: Enjoy your first mushy meal Lil! lol And a big congrats on the 7kg lost thus far! :clap2: You may gain a little back on mushies, but if you drank plenty of Water during your liquid phase, you will not be dehydrated, so provided you make good choices, anything you regain would just be, *ahem* bowel content... And that can weigh anywhere up to 3kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B4by Ph4t 0 Posted July 27, 2006 LOL I will blame any weight gain on my bowel content.. Will make me feel better anyway hehehe... I had some mashed potato and pumpkin for my first meal I was so excited.. I recon I could have had alot more but I restricted myself which was hard to do but I done it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
