The last couple of days it seems that if I get up, my port area is sore. It feels like it's tugging on my muscle walls. I heard someone talk once about when they lost weight, the muscle strucutre changed and the port was pulling on it. Itis it possible I have the same or does anyone else have any tips to offer?

YES, I DIDN'T HAVE A PRE OP DIET BUT I DID DIET SOME AS I DIDN'T WANT THE LIQUID DIET TO COME AS A SHOCK TO THE OLD BOD

Smart idea. Thanks!

I was told by Dr. Ortiz's office since my BMI was low I did not have to do the pre op diet. Did anyone else hear that as well?

STARTED WITH A 32.6

AM NOW AT 24.1

AWESOME! =D> Congratulations. Thanks!!!

Thanks! I've added.

I'm also on the 22nd. I'm so excited. i got to find this calendar! :cheerleader:

I just scheduled my surgery today and it's on May 22nd!!! I now already know two of you. :-) I'm so excited. Where are you two from?

I have a starting BMI of 32 and am scheduled for banding on the 22nd of May. I was wondering if anyone here started at roughly that BMI and what kind of success you had.

I am so excited about next month and really appreciate this board.

Thanks! :-h
