The milk of magnesia works. It is just REALLY disgusting.

I was banded 4/2011 and when I went back for my first fill in June, I could not get a fill because my port flipped! For insurance reason's, I was not able to get it fixed until January 2012. Between that time period I was basically going on will power because I was not able to get fills. I did not exercise much aside from walking a mile maybe twice a month. I did however lose 65lbs between April and now. I do believe I would have lost much more if I did exercise.

Horrible! I have to drink Milk of Magnesia sometimes just to go. I usually can tell when: My weight is going up I feel bloated Bad gas pains M.O.M. usually solves the problem.

I'm here! I just had a port revision on 1-5-12 due to a flipped port, so I basically had no fills for the entire time! I just got a fill at the time of my port revision and have much better restriction. Hopefully it does not happen again.

No fills here, but not because I wanted it that way, It's because my port flipped and I was self pay! No money to pay for another surgery to fix it...smh #life

Nope, I was also self pay, which makes this situation all the more frustrating! My guess is that I won't have to pay anything or maybe they will figure out a way to bill it to my insurance. Otherwise I'll just have to pay even more money to get it fixed. My surgeon didnt really specify whether I would have to pay more money, but I will definetely keep you posted.

My port is completely flipped! I went in for my first fill on 6/7/11 and my doctor could not do the fill so he sent me to do my fill under flouro, and thats when it was discovered that my port had flipped! I was so upset. He said that he would do the port revision and that it was a 15 minute procedure, so I'm hoping it will be quick and painless. Im scheduled for 7/7/11
