  1. Port Revision Surgery

    · Snackaholic · 09/08/2012 17:33

    I am scheduled for Port revison surgery in a couple weeks. My band stopped working in January 2012. I was banded in July 2006, lost about 80 lbs, had no issues. About 2 years ago, I feel off the wagon, as my addiction to fast food came back. I slowly gainned back about half my weight loss.
     
    Anyway....I was hoping to get back on track this year, but since I had no restriction, I am sad to say I have gainned back ALL MY WEIGHT.
     
    So now after all these years, of watching what I eat, throwing up at many restruants, side of the road while driving, I am back at square one.
     
    I was told earlier this year my port had a leak, then found out that the tubing leading to the band had a kink in it?
     
    So now having port and tubing replaced in a couple weeks.
     
    I am wondering as anyone else had this surgery? I am told its a out patient procedure, and I go home same day. Was wondeing what your expiernces were with this? How long do I wait for a fill? Do I get it same day, or have to wait?
     
    Thanks for reading this, This is my last chance to make this work....
