onceandforall Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi All- Was banded 9 days ago in TJ and all is fine, but there is a large hard bump at my port. It feels like there is a 3 inch piece of wood sewn into my midrift. I cant touch my toes and have to sit up very straight. Will it always be like this? If i cant roll up (bend over and touch my toes) there is a lot I cant do - yoga....scuba diving.....etc. Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi All- Was banded 9 days ago in TJ and all is fine, but there is a large hard bump at my port.

If i cant roll up (bend over and touch my toes) there is a lot I cant do - yoga....scuba diving.....etc. Help. It has been 6 weeks for me and my port is still tender.. I had trouble bending over too for the first few weeks. Be careful with the exercises you are doing now. I don't think we are to do any kind of abdominal exercises for 3 months. I would call and ask the Dr on Call at the OCC about Yoga. When I have called the OCC Dr So, who was on call, answered all my questions. I think you need to let your port stitches heal and then you get used to the feeling of having the port in your abdominal area. You will always have a bump at the port site where they do your fills. Did you get a chance to see the Lap Band in Dr Meranda's office? It is really pretty large. I was surprised how big it was. The more weight you loose because your fat does not hide it as much. Some people will choose to have a port revision to make it less visible. Best Wishes, Sherri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcMjawad1 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi, I was banded in March and yes, I did have some of the same issues. Mainly I could not do the Yoga that required bending at the middle. I was able to do some poses but not my entire routine comfortably for about three months...it does get better and it is so worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
