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.

Just wondering if you are still on here and if you can update us on your situation. I sure hope things worked out well for you!!
