On my way

Hi everyone. Today is 1 week since surgery. I feel fine except I'm still sore & a bit black & blue near my port incision. Has anyone experienced that? I've lost 20 lbs. Lost 6 lbs since surgury, 20lbs so far including the liquids I was on 2 weeks prior to surgury. I get my 1st fill 3/10/05.

Way to go Cutz, It sounds like everything is healing up well & the weight is going in the right direction!

I hope to be joining you in a month or so hopefully.. keep us posted on your progress.

Sorry I can tell you about the port area- But it sound perfectly normal from all I have studied.

Congratulations, Cutz! I think the port incision bruising is normal. Mine looked pretty nasty for a couple of weeks, but it will get better.

Congratulations on getting your band and on the 20 pounds that are forever gone! You'll be back skiing and scuba diving before you know it....and enjoying it so much more! They really bang us around when we get our band. The bruising, swelling, aches, and pains get better day by day.
