I found out today i have to have my port out due to infection. I have been doing so good,down 27 lbs feeling great.. now sad:sad: I love my band Dr said one month to heal then he will put port back.:scared2:

That sucks big time! So sorry!

So Sorry...but a month is not to long....I had to be completely unfilled for 6 weeks (like not having a band) and still managed to lose 5 pounds. Keep your chin up!

I'm really sorry you are going through this. But you can't risk your health. It won't be long before they can put it back. In the meantime, do the best you can to stay with a healthy eating program, and exercise!

Thanks for all the encouragement... i had my port out with no problems, home in 6hrs,:thumbdown:

Sorry you're going thru this. Hope you continue to recover and heal! What were your symptoms before they figured out your port was infected? Was the outside of your incision infected? Just curious.

Take care,
