2nd port revision on the horizion



Recommended Posts

I am on vacation for 2 weeks, and have just discovered that i have an infection of my port.....

I have had this before, and i had a port revision. Looks like the same thing is on the horizion this time.

I'm starting to lose all hope in this band. The band itself is working great and have lost 85lbs since Nov 2010.

I'm worried about all the time off of work i am having to take because of this problem.

Will I continue to have to have my port replaced:? this will be the second time.

At least because i live in Ontario, any problem involving the band is covered by Ontario Health care...... its just the stress and anxiety i have to get over.

How am I supposed to have a fun vacation when this is all i can think of??

looking for some support or some advice from someone who has gone through the same thing.

Thanks

What kind of infection? Staph or something else? Is it from surgery or from something you could possibly be doing? I might condsider consulting another dr. or there are clinics that specialize in repeated infections. Good luck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
