Has anyone else had this problem. My 1st fill was two weeks ago and they ran into problems finding my port due to swelling and scar tissue. They said they may have got 2 to 3 cc's in, so today needing a fill very bad I go back. Same problem today I still have swelling and this time they even got the sonogram machine on me and still can't really find the port. Now I have to go back on Monday for some type of xray to see if they can see the port. I'm very upset and nervous about this, I really hope there is not a problem because if they have to go back in I don't know what I'll do. They poked me several times and I still don't think we got anything, I'm so confused and now very sore, bruised and swollen.

Had my 1st fill yesterday and it did not go well. I went in very positive that I wasn't going to have those problems I've heard about but I did. I have some fluid behind my 2 large incisions so they tried to remove that. Then I wanted a fill because I have no resistance, the port has moved deeper so it took a while to find during that time they did a lot of poking on it. Thank goodness for numb drug!!! I don't think I could have handled it without because it was still painful. I don't want to scare anyone my doctor promised me this is unusual to have problems and even said a lot of times people with my very fair skin have more issues than others (in anything!!!) ahhh sometimes being a red head is not fun! Anyway I did like that his scale says I've lost 2 more pounds than mine did so I'll take it!!!
I go back in two weeks, they were only able to do 3CC's so in two weeks they will try again and I'm sure it will be better!

I'm Going To Disney World!
· lindabug · 07/31/2012 15:54
Last year my family went to Disney World during the Christmas season and had a great time. Since my granddaughter will be 4 soon and can not go once she start 5 year old school my husband, daughter, son in law and his parents have decided to go this year also. I am hoping I can loose enough weight between now and then to go and not get so tired like last year. I'm really excited about the trip and hope I feel so much better.

Day 2 Pre Op Diet
· lindabug · 07/17/2012 15:09
Yesterday I did great on my 1st day liquid diet but my mom was having surgery and I was busy with her all day so it made it easier for me. I knew being at work would be my biggest challange. I spend a lot of time at work alone and sit at a computer all day. It makes it really hard not to grab something and eat it all. I am determined to do this and have to keep my focus on the greater (or should I say lesser) goal! I know this to will pass just trying to get through it.
My surgery was to be on the 19th but was rescheduled for the 26th.
