Tiny~ No, there is nothing wrong w/ my band. Just the port. So, why did you have to get restitched? How did they know you needed it? What were your symtoms? My pain is a lot better just a little sore now. Hope it continues to get better & doesn't act up again w/ exercise. Good news~I was down 5 lbs from last visit in Jan. :-)

Well, apparently a scan does not even show if you pulled out a stitch. :frown: I guess she did the scan to make sure everything was still working right. Did GI ect. Scan was good. BUT she thinks I may have pulled a stitch. So, she is hoping it will just heal on its own. :frown: If it keeps bothering me she will go in & move my port down. Plus when I start exercising again I will wear a binder around my belly for more support. Just ordered one for $15.00 This is where I am at for now. :frown: __________________

well my doc sent me in for a CT scan yesterday. She thinks a stitch may have come undone. Waiting on results now. I'll keep ya posted. Thanks for info! :laugh:

Hi . I'm thinking this may have happend to me {flipped port}. What were your symtoms? I'm having pain like the sensation when I first had sugery done. Hurts to bend, laydown, sit up ect. My surgen thinks I may have pulled out a stitch. She sent me in for a CT sacn yesterday. Waiting to here. If that the case, I'm not sure if I will keep my band. :-( I have lost more then 1/2 the weight I wanted to lose & don't want to have more problems. I don't like the idea of having the band in me for life anyway. Not sure??????

I'm wondering the same.

just bumping this up for you

Just signed up for this too. says my results won't be ready till 3/19

Hi guys. I called doc V yesterday morn & told her the pain was worse & described it to her. She said it sounded like I pulled out a stitch. She had me go in for a CT scan. I'm waiting to here whats going on. I have alot to think about. Not sut=re what I will do if there is a problem. I may have my band removed. :-(

Thank you both for replying. What is a binder?? The pain got really bad yesterday. I felt like I just had surgery all over. hurt to touch, bend over sit up lay down ect... Got very scary! I am feeling better today but I will keep my app for fri. TY!

I am feeling better today/ Thank god but I will still go in on fri for them to check me out. I was really scared because I was having pain near the big incision area port area just like I did when I had sugery. Hurt to, touch, bend over, sit up, lay down, roll over, ect. I'm scared my port flipped or came unstitched. it just did not feel right at all. Paige & Tiny~ sounds like you 2 had a big party at your last meet up lol! :thumbup:

I called doc/ she did not seem concerned AT ALL. It seems to be getting worse. pain when I bend over or stand up straight or touch port area. I am not going to live w/ this. This is NOT normal for me. I made an app to be seen. I'm scared I did damage. How can they tell w/out opening me up???? She said it sounded like GAS! It feels like I felt soon after surgery. tender/

I just started run/walking on my new tredmill. Last night while running my port area felt strange, almost like I irratated sp) it or something. Today while doing dishes I leaded into the sink & felt a little discomfort/cramping in port area. I called doc & left a message. Anyone ever have this??? TY! I have been banded for OVER 1 yr.

GALD your doing well BLUE!!! PAIGE~ Those would be hard to get down or up for me too! You poor thing! :-(

your welcome! :-)

Hi everyone! Tiny~I know how you feel about the gym. I just got my tredmill & first I was sick (had to go to ER for IV fluids) took me a few days to get back to normal. NOW my back is acting up again! Hurts when I breathe! I have issues w. my feet too! I wore a pair of boots w/ a small heel sat night & my toes have been numb since then! They are getting better but WTF!!! Blue~ I hope you are doing well!:scared2: Paige~ sounds like your pretty uncomfortable. Hope it gets better for you too.:thumbup: Tova_Hang in there girl!!!!! :smile:

Blue~ GOOD LUCK!!! Keep us posted!!!! Your on your way!!!:thumbup:

:thumbup:YOU GO!!!!!

Hi Danielle! Yes, it sounds like we have about tthe same story :-). I agree w/ your doc.....I think your doing well! 9 lbs in 2 months is great!!!! We all want the weight to FLY off but it's not gonna! :smile2: Sounds like your doing awesome!

I know how you feel. I had sugery sept 25 2008 lost 40 ish lbs in the first 6 months. Then didn't lose again for like another 7 months. I just couldn't get the motivation again. I felt like I was failing my band. Just in the last few months I started getting serious again * losing again FINALLY!!! I started measuring my food again & counting my cals w/ daily plate .com. You have to plan! Make food ahead if you have to. The bottom line is nobody can MAKE us do this. It sucks but we have to do it all ourselves. HTH!

PS_how long did it take????
