    I have 5 too banded 3 weeks ago tomorrow - still bruised around the two larger ones (banded in Birmingham) still a bit bumpy but getting smaller every day - little ones almost gone!  think its too tender for the port but thin mine is in the middle slightly higher up!

    Hi I have 5 aswell!

    The larger more central but on the left scar is usually the port!

      I've got 1 either side of my tummy, then a little one just under my bra in the middle, and then a larger one underneath and a smaller one under that if that makes sense! X

      Hi Jenni how are you getting on?

      A little difference but not too much as they said they see better results for when they do it a tiny bit at a time! 

      Still eating more than I thought I would be able to but nowhere near as much as I used to eat!

      When is your fill? X
