Port replaced
just had my port revision yesterday...its a breeze..way less painful then the surgery! I agree I've been blessed as well, my port flipping was my own stupid doings (tried to carry 80pounds of topsoil on my shoulder...didnt end well! LOL) I'm down about 110 pounds and feel amazing... i hope all goes well for you on friday and keep up the great weight loss! ~Megs

unexplained port pain!
Got my answer...in my soil slinging fury LOL I flipped my port... Somehow the way I twisted I managed to pull a few of the stiches right out of the fascia/muscle... however on the bright side...my dr is amazing, he had me in the O.R. within an hour and I was home with a port revision completed by 6pm! And I got to upgrade ports...my doc just got in the new lower profile ports, about half the size of the old ones...so he put that in with some surgical mesh...so I can't flip it again playing super hero gardening girl! :thumbup:

Banded & prego with multiples
Morning All, Just wondering if anyone has had experience with being pregnant with multiples (twins, triplets, etc) and what the experience was like. My hubby and I have been TTC for about 8 months and just got confirmation that we have to go with in vitro...which we fully intend to do...but our Dr just keeps bringing up the multiple stats and both me & the hubby are worried about how multiples affect your health, the babies health, and the functionality of the band... not to mention your sanity (yeah, mommies of multiples can you give me some realistic feedback about life with twins or triplets LOL) Thanks so much! ~Megs

unexplained port pain!
Morning all, Just wondering if anyone has experience with a hurt port... I was loading large bags of soil yesterday and believe I might have done something to my port... I have a sensation of being pinched actually underneath of the port and a burning in the area around it... have an appt today at 1pm with the dr but just wondering if anyone's experienced anything like this... I'm a year and half out and more then 100pounds down and never had severe port pain like this before... thanks :thumbup: ~Meg:confused:

Too tight???
Hey All, About a week and a half ago I went for my 2nd adjustment...and I'm not sure if its too tight... I'm not sure I know the difference between restriction and too tight... it takes me about 35-45 minutes to eat about 1/2 cup of tuna... chicken breast even if well chewed gets stuck or comes back up... however weird things like baked tostitos and salsa go down... ice cream unfortunately goes down! But is that restriction??? Is that what I'm supposed want to happen? help please.... Thanks in advance!

Feeling confused...
believe me I know how u feel...but u have to keep reminding yourself that this is a forever change...and theirs going to be bumps along the way...u have to keep moving forward...because thats whats going to make this time different... this time is different...and all the work you put in will pay off...sometimes it just doesn't pay off when we want it too... I didn't lose for almost 3 weeks...despite personal training sessions and an adjustment... well I'll be darned if my body just needed some time or whatever...when the personal trainer did my measurments... an inch and a half gone...despite the stupid numbers...and I got more compliments in those 3 weeks than i had in months prior... it works out... just sometimes not by our watches! Good Luck :wink:
