I have BCBS TN Premium PPO and my co-pay was $250. No clue about the fills. T

I bent over a LITTLE to far this a.m. in the bathroom at work and nearly shreaked. OH MY GOSH.. The pain in my port.... I guess it pulled on my stitches holding the port in place. That was like an hour ago and I'm still feeling it a little. My tongue is all messed up, gross and sore too. I"m going to call my dr. about it. I think I noticed it yesterday being sore and today when I got up and looked at it, it's all blotchy. white in spots and ANGRY red in others. Maybe it's the antibiotics or it could be the liquid ibuprophen I'm using. I sure hope it's not the ibuprophen. It's what keeps me going during the day. :update: I have never before had this in my life and I'm still not sure how it happened, but it would appear after speaking with my dr, that I have Thrush. Isn't that what babies get? ANYwho, he is calling in a prescription that I will pick up on the way home. T

6 days post op I actually drove myself to work this a.m. and survived the evil seat belt and steering wheel. I'll probably leave here around noonish.

I'm at work 6 days post op. Y'all will do great! Tracy

I'm at work.. it didn't kill me to drive myself like I thought it would driving a stick shift.. however,,, I have a bone to pick with the seat belt and steering wheel. ANYwho... I'm here, it's nice to be back, but I'm really tired. Will probably only stay half a day. Jack, I'm happy you have stumbled across our post.. you are one of my favorite posters.

Just checking with my fellow bandsters and their incisions. How are they? How long was it before all of your stuff came off? my date was 2/27 so I'm five days post op. I have internal stitches covered with some small kind of tape then on top of that covered with gauze and clear skin like tape. three of my incisions the gause is off and partially the tape over the cut. I'm still wearing the gauze over the rest .. the main sites over port area. how are your incisions doing? my skin feels tight and I worry about splitting them open when I bend over. the smallest incision to the far left isn't oozing or anyting but it isn't shut tight like the one next to it. any suggestions or just general discussion on the incisions in general? Tracy

I am 5 days post op.. was going back to work tomorrow and now i'm like.. hmmm maybe i'll wait until tuesday. I drive a stick shift truck and don't look forward to having to shift and stuff. I worry about my incisions. one small one to the far left at the bottom isn't 'closed' anymore. I can't see the rest of them because my heart gauze bandages are still covering them. my tummy skin is tight, dry, itching and I'm worried that everytime I bend over I'm going to split them open or something. any suggestions? how are yours doing? I see you are 11 days post op and feeling normal for the most part.. what day post op did that start?? Tracy

Every day seems that I turn another corner for the best. I'm still itching like crazy, however, this a.m. I was able to, with the aid of several pillows.. lay on my side! HOORAH! it still slighly pulls on my port site which isn't v. comfy but it's a nice few minute change from laying on my back. It doesn't take much to wear me out. I go back to work tomorrow and kind of dread it, I have a desk job though so the worst part will be going from truck to desk. after that I should be fine. I'm eating a soft scrambled egg right now that DH made for me. I think finally today, some of my swelling has gone down. Tracy

Day four post op. Allive and kicking... and ITCHING. Drank my watery oatmeal with protein powder mixed in. Was quite delicious actually. Hubby will make me a soft scrambled egg for lunch and a 1/4 cup of 'wet' lean ground beef for supper to be chased with a v-8 juice. Did I mention I was ITCHING?
