I had my second fill on 4/28 and my weight was 206 lbs I weighed myself today and I am at 197 lbs.. I have not been able to keep anything down... if you know what I mean.. I have been trying to sip water, tea, OJ, and broth but I just feel a slight tightness and while I sleep it just comes up? Have any suggestions? :smile:

Wow.. After surgery I did very well.. I am so sorry that you are not having a good experience.. but as your wounds heal you will feel better and feel like your old self. The gassy feeling is probably the worst thing that you will have to deal with. Just stay positive and walk walk walk.. the pounds will come off and when you go back for your visit next Monday.. I am sure that you will be smiling from head to toe!

To make a long story short 252 lbs at the time of surgery on 9/24/09. First fill scheduled for 11/17 but found that port had flipped. Revision on 1/14/10. My current weight is 218 and I had my first fill on 3/1/10. I have been on liquids since. but barely.. they tried 2cc but it was too tight and took someout so I believe that I have a bit of 1 cc.. and the liquid is so hard to go down.. I am going to try to go on mushies for dinner tonight because I am so starving!! does anyone have any suggestions? Also the protein was too dense to go down as well.

Congrats on your weight loss of 148 lbs.. I weighed 252 lbs and had surgery on 9/24/09. I went in Nov. for my first fill and my port had flipped... needless to say I flipped out because I just had surgery up until that point I had lost 25 lbs. My revision was on on 1/14/10 and my weight at that time was 230.. today I weigh 222 lbs.. and with the revision they repositioned the port. The pain was minimal and I came back to work yesterday.... I am hoping that this incident does not happen anytime soon.. but all I can say is that there is a slight chance that this can occur and that I hope everything goes well for you.. oh they just open one incision and the procedure was only about 45 mins... preping and anesthesia..

Update : Had surgery on 9/24/09 lost 25 lbs went for my first fill to find out port is tilted had a revision done on 1/14/10. On date of surgery was 230 lbs now weighing 222 lbs. Feeling ok but kind of scared again I do not want to go through another revision. Does anyone have any suggestions of light exercises that I can do or should I wait until after my visit on 1/22/10?

Congrats to you... I am in the same boat.. only my boyfriend and my two kids know that I've had surgery.. 9/24/09 I had lost up to 25 lbs from 252 lbs. only to find out that when I went for my first fill it was tilted and had a revision done on 1/14/10 now I went on the scale and was at 222 excited but trying to consider exercising without harming my new incision & placement of the port. My choice was personal to not tell anyone for various reasons but the main reason was that I wanted to do this pretty much on my own.. and feel the accomplishment was for me not anyone else. So, I do agree with your decision of not telling anyone.. I just hope that you continue succeeding in your quest for a better, healthier lifestyle and enjoy everything that you set your mind too!

I had my surgery on 9/24/09 I went in for my first fill in Nov. and found out that my port was at an angle that I was unable to receive my first fill. I now have to have it revised.. I go in for pretesting tomorrow and will have the revision on 1/11/10. I am very discouraged and have not been exercising and just eating what I want but small portions. My weight at the time of surgery was 252 lbs and as of today I am still at 229 lbs. Has anyone had this type of experience and how do you get back on track. I am angry because the surgery and healing time went so well but I did not expect to have a revision so soon after surgery! :drool:

I had surgery on 9/24 weighing 252 lbs.and went in for my first fill yesterday.. I currently weigh 225 lbs. and guess what.. my port is backwards..... now I have to do a revision.. and I do not know if I should go through this again... because I am unable to get any fills... because she has to tilt my port and attempt to have the needle penetrate on an angle.. and it hurt soo much.. The office has given me a tentative date for Jan 11.. has anyone experienced this.. my goodness It's only been two months and 6 days!!!:wink2:

I am post oo (9/24) and I can honestly say I had the same thing happen.. what I did was when I slept because I sleep on my belly I would prop pillows on both of my sides and get into a comfortable position. Also the pain will eventually go away just hang in there!

thank you so much I will look into the other blogs! and good look with your weight loss as well..
