  1. Hi Totty, I guess I made a bid deal outa nothin. I'm such a dork! Port is in same place and same amount of saline as last time! I made sure he accessed it from the same hole as last time and I watched him suck out the saline and it registered 1.6 cc's. I'm soooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!! Now I can continue to have crazy sex! JUST KIDDING….. I will definitely be more conscientious next time even tho nothin happened. I have NO IDEA why I thought my port was somewhere else; the only thing I can think of is that he said under my bruises, are knotted muscles- I think I thought that was my port. My muscles are really hard there for some reason. My Dr. said out of 1000 patients he has never had a slip or a port flip or relocate. He said he stitched it to the muscle lining and I don't have to worry about it moving. I found this out on Monday..... sorry I didn't let everyone know- been soooo busy. Anyway, I'm SO grateful nothing is wrong and it is SUCH A RELIEF!!!!
  2. Me too! Thank you Joyful1 !!!! I'll let y'all know what happens.
  3. Ok guys..... I was really stupid and got caught up in the heat of the moment and had really REALLY rough sex, and it was NOT in a bed. Needless to say, nothing around me was soft or cushiony by any means. This was last night. About two hours later, I noticed that my port was not where it usually was, but like under my ribs!!!! Not only that, but I can eat A LOT. This is terrible! I feel like it may have slipped up, or..... what if I caused a leak by being reckless??? I'm so upset. I was banded Nov. 16, 2006. I HAD (have?) 1.6 cc's in my band. Now it feels like it's not even there. My Dr. is on vaca and I cannot get in until Monday. So in the meantime, I'm freaking out! I talked to the nurse and she said the port could have "flipped". Well, I didn't tell her what caused this because I was too embarrassed. Has anyone done anything like this or had an impact that may have disrupted the placement of the band? I'm SOOOO angry with myself and I shoulda been more careful!!!! I worked so hard for this and now I feel like I could have screwed it up and might have to have revisional surgery--- just for one stupid night (1/2 hour!) of passion.
  4. Since no one is being critical, I'll be more frank. YES- I really do think this could have happened. It was not just "rough sex", it was probably the roughest sex I've ever had. And I was bent over something (a desk) and obviously the impact of the desk jabbing and jabbing me over and over really ROUGHLY, screwed up my band. I know it did. I'm soooooooooooooo mad and frustrated! How could I have been so stupid??!!!!!
