  1. I love spicy food, the spicier the better but since the band I find I am getting the worst heart burn after spicy food like jalepenos or Thai curry. Is this typical? Does anyone else have this issue?
  2. Oman thankfully it was just due to the fact that she is inexperienced. The other PA got it right away.
  3. I can feel the port and so did the PA but she just kept hitting plastic when she tried to do the fill. Going to be seen at 12:30.
  4. Oh man I hope it's not a port flip. I am a teacher and taking off from work is almost impossible ???????????? I hope she was just an amateur. I guess I will find out today!!
  5. Hi everyone!! I had my surgery July 31st 2013. It had been a slooooooow go and I've lost about only about 30lbs so far. I did miss a few months of appointments though. I am finally back on track and went for another fill today, I currently only have 2.5cc so the band hasn't really started working for me 100% yet. It's been a struggle. Anyway I usually never have an issue when I get my fills but today the new PA found my port she felt it but couldn't get the needle in for the fill. I'm confused why this happened? After poking me for 30 min and 4 diff needles she gave up. I have to go tomorrow for a more experienced person to do it. Has anyone ever had this issue? I can understand if she couldn't find my port but she felt it just didn't know where to stick the needle.
