I just stayed on my old thread..?!!?

I had 4 put in a 10... But was told it all depends on your stomach size. And that still will offer no restriction, it's hard to tell as I am only 8 days post op...
I found the first week surprisingly hard, but u sound as if your doing ok... Do keep us updated..

Fancy telling us your vital statistics?? Lol. Xx

Hi don't know my vital statistics but I'm a size 18 top and twenty top but my bmi was 42 which worried me. What was hard about it the pain or the only drinking liquids take care xx
 
I found the pain difficult and so sleeping for 4 days, but we are all so different.. Good luck in your recovery.
 
Yer it does but I to suffered.. I found day 5 was a big turning point, and then every day is loads loads better.. To now, were I'm day 9 and feeling brand new.. I found I just slept for the first 4 days and stayed in bed a lot..
Keep strong it's just time, u will soon be fighting fit in no time.. X

Thank you has made me feel better was thinking is this normal the pain I'm in. I'm struggling I had a slim fast today a cup or tea and trying to drink water or watery orange but am worried I'm not drinking enough did you have your band filled when you had you op to be honest I feel quite full after drinking a little bit thanks xx
 
Yer like u I had 4mls in a 10, and it felt really tight for a while.. I had to sip and was scared but now I can gulp and feel fine.
I didn't expect to feel as bad as I did, I thought I would be able to have the kids the next day.. Haha.. No one can prepare you as we are all so different..
 
oh go girl I had my band in Birmingham in January best thing I every did im not far off my goal and feeling fab xx

See that's the thing the pain I'm having I don't know if its where they have gone in or if it is the band itself doing its job you say it felt tight for a while us it like a sudden pulling in your belly I suppose its a good thing they have filled it when I had op at least it gets to work stright away xx
 
Mine was hurting lower left side mainly of an evening... Turned out I needed a poo..!

Sorry, pooing aint something I do much anyway, usually due to being on some fad diet..
So I can easily forget about going, took some dulcolax after about 8 days.. And hay hoe, no more pain..

That's funny because I was getting really bad pain on the lower left hand side I have been drinking prune juice which helped but my pain is just about my belly button I think it's where the port is but not sure feels like a tightening feeling I think lol x
 
My port is high just below my left rib, I can feel it under my skin now I'm not to sensitive to prod..
Buy yer that's sounds about right, really tights and sore, pulled and still does when I move or lay on that side.. I feel like a tightness around my chest most the time, find it difficult to wear a bra.. (Due to three kids really have no choice!) and digs in when I bend over, port that is not the bra!
