I think it's one of the more common problems we could have. But how I was clueless that it happened, it doesn't always hurt where your port is. I had a quick sharp pain under my left boob probably a month ago. Literally hurt a SECOND. But since it was so high up away from my port it never crossed my mind that's what it was. Yep.

It's costing right at $1200 for the revision. And you do have to go back to the hospital and be put under. However, there's no gas (yaaaay!) and they only open the port incision, not the other 4 as well. So recovery isn't nearly as bad. And now it's HIGHLY unlikely I'll ever have another port issue.

They fix it by attaching some mesh like they use for hernias to my abdominal muscles, then attach the port to that. My Dr said out of the thousands of band's he's done there has been 2 people that had 2 port revisions and 1 person has had 3.

Oh, and if you do an egg put it in something like salad. Not boiled and by itself. Eeeek.

What kind of shakes are you drinking? I drink Chike and it's really not bad. My fill didn't go as planned. As in, there wasn't one. I have a flipped port. Already. Siiiigh. So that's another $1200 come December when I can have it done. But I've got the one fill, and still doing ok. 46 lbs down! Hoping for at least 60 by the time I have my port revision.

Glad your surgery went well and congrats on the loss! I've only had a few stuck things, and that was an egg (omg I thought I was DYING!) and a bit of chicken that was too dry. Just be careful and go slow! :wub:

Hey! See you were banded last month! Woohoo! How are things going? I'm going in for my second fill today *checks clock* yes today. Slow right now for me since I've got NO restriction but we'll get there right?

I just wanted to check in with you and I see that you've been approved! Congrats! I wish you much luck!

Hey! Enjoyed our 'chat' and just thought I'd friend you if that's cool!
