SLIM SLY 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Hi BeverlyDiane, I felt the same way until I started having Soup at least once a day all the sweetness from the shakes was making me sick, plus I was using the myoplex ready to drink at work and it was making me gassy. The soup really helped now I am on my way to surgery tomorrow. I'm going to miss being able to mix my fruit in my shake after today, but I was told I couldn't have fruit in my shake postop.

SanDiegoSusan 1 Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Mackie: I don't know if a knot is normal or not. I don't have one. Can you be a little more descriptive? Do you mean a knot near your breastbone? Or a knot near your long port scar which is probably more common? I recommend you post this question in the post-surgery area and see if anyone has had experience with it. I hope you get an answer, but anytime you are worried about something - call your doctor immediately! Good luck and keep us updated. Thanks Susan it work.When Im online I stay on these forums,I read alot.This helps me and you help me. Thanks so much.I need to ask something, I have a knot right above where my band is. Is this normal? Thanks Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
