What does the band feel like (worried about port flipping)
Mine is like that too. Actually one of my stiches holding it in place ripped through the muscle during a yoga class. its just sitting crooked. The Dr when you lay down for the fill will push on it and get it in the correct position. If it does flip completly they can fix it with a minor surgery. Most likely it wont flip though. Goog luck on your journey. How fun you two get to do it together.

- What have you lost...
I lost an Irish Setter.Woo Hoo! I kind of wanted to lose the Elephant Penis but glad I lost the Irish Setter.- What have you lost...
My 17 year old kid and I just had the best giggle over this!! Thanks- What have you lost...
- Holy crap...what size is that?
great job. Woo Hoo...- overfilled!
it has happened to me a couple times. twice they took it all out because of all the swelling from spitting and gagging and choking. this last time just took out 0.5, now I am at Dr. to add 0.1. You probably have enough now to just get little fills not to go overfilled. I am just going to go real slow it just might take longer. I hate being over full it is miserable. good luck.- Do you burp more now that you are banded? (non-productive, just air)
I burp all the time.- Bent over and felt a pop
The stitch was in my port though not my stomach.- Bent over and felt a pop
one of my stitches did come out. I felt a pulling in my stomach for a couple of days, then in yoga it popped. I could see it poking out. My port is close to my skin now. I didnt have it fixed because it doesnt bother me any more. Just letting you know it does happen.- update on me ...
I am a Labor and Delivery Nurse. Leave all options open. Everyone is so different. The best outcome is a healthy baby. Who cares how you get there. Vaginal, C/S, drugs or no drugs. You will know what you want when the time is comes. Good Luck.- Thinking about backing out
I think we all had moments that scared us and we debated doing it. I did it 11 months ago. It has been great. I went from 235 down to 180 now. I am still working but pleased I did it. Follow your heart. There are risks in any surgery but there are risks living obese too.- Knockouts December Updates
i am down 55 lbs. wanted it to more by now. Had complete unfill in august, tryed to start getting fills again, couldnt swallow my own spit had to unfill again. I am on my way to try filling again. Just very frustrating when it was working it was great. I actually go again today fot a fill . I am going every 2 weeks until I get there very slowly. I cant wait for restriction again. I have 20 lbs to reach my goal.- Fill Problems
the same has happened to me twice. Had to have it all removed. now slowly increasing. I havnt lost since July. Its very frustrating. I dont know the answer. I am trying to go every 2 weeks and get small fills. We will see what happens.
