It's One year, and 8 months since my initial surgery. I discovered my port was flipped around month 5. I had a Mexican surgery, and to get it repaired here was astronomical. I finally bit the bullet and flew to Mexico, and got it fixed just a couple weeks ago. Including airfare, the cost was less than half of what it would have been here.
Since I have had it repaired, I have lost 18 lbs. Those first days are rough. Even Water was chancy, and I spent a lot of time sucking ice cubes. But it's settled down now, and I am feeling normal again, and falling in love with my band all over again!
