Do you get paid to post here Maria? Your signature is an ad and all you do is sit around waiting for your plug. Sarah do I post any more often than before I started my blog?! Think about it! Also think about how many other OH'ers have "ads" in their signatures! Why don't u go and try to start **** with them too????
Also Sarah.............as far as the OP...........WHY DON'T YOU SUGGEST SOMETHING TO HELP HER?!?!?! Do you really think with her being 300 pounds at 3 1/2 yrs. that the band is helping her?????????? You are so irate with me posting...........TRYING TO HELP HER..........that you would rather attack me.............than give the OP a helpful suggestion!
She has had her band all these years. She is nowhere near goal. She is SMO! What do you wanna do? Give her the pep talk?! Play band cheerleader?! Good luck with that!
You may not like what I say, or that I have a blog, but at the end of the day...........MY conscious is clear!
Sarah, if you actually check out Maria's blog, she posts lots of both pro and anti-band things and i think she really is just trying to share things she reads. Everything from low carb recipes to articles on wls. I have been watching her signature change through different banners and they are none of them ads for companies etc. One is about Tom from the Realize forum, one is an magazine article about insurance, one is about wls success tips and so on.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
Several possibilities.
A sort of pinching feeling - happens to me sometimes, assume it is just the hard port "catching" against soft tissue.
Bruised feeling - banged against something
Ache - result of ab exercises
Real pain, accompanied by hotness and swelling - serious! See your doc straightaway.
But when in doubt always see yoru doc.

Hi Katie,
If you are exercising alot you might get tender and sore there. I do alot of Zumba and that works your stomach area alot and I can get sore there also it scared me when I first had it also I thought oh my gosh not even 2 months out and Im having problems it can be scary when you feel that.
If you are doing that then yes you will feel it .
If not I agree with Kate on what she said, hot, swelling or red marks coming out from where your port is you need to see your doc that could be signs of a infection .
Hope you find out what is bothering you !!!

FIrst off -- Kate - thank you for true feedback instead of calling me still fat and telling me i need a revision without knowing anything about me. I am devastated by this woman's comments and frankly - DON'T EVER, EVER CONSIDER POSTING ANYTHING FOR ME AGAIN, BECAUSE YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME. I am not looking for a cheerleader, I am not looking for anyone to be "sensitive" to me. I have been on this posting board for 4 years and NEVER and I mean never have had anyone be so rude in their post. I am seeing my dr on April 12th and I don't think the band is the issue -the issue is my poor eating and how WELL I learned to eat around this band. It can be done, trust me I am walking proof.
Again, I don't appreciate you or your posts -- maybe others do, but HOW FREAKIN RUDE CAN A PERSON BE. I thought people would know how to post comments, not be rude like when I was in 3rd grade and someone was making fun of me -- BLASTING MY WEIGHT....OHHHH I AM SO PISSED OFF AT YOU.
