Well, I had my port revised yesterday since it flipped, and have to say, that was a truly interesting experience! The doctor did the procedure in his office, just numbed the area really well and opened me up, took out my port, examined it, and did my first fill. He added 6.5cc to my band (I have a 14cc band), then put the new port in, sewed it into place and stitched me up. It was the strangest feeling, having his hand inside my stomach feeling around, tugging, and feeling things move....its beyond words to try to describe.
Today I'm feeling good, just have some pain around the incision, but I'm back to work (I went after work yesterday so didnt miss any work at all).
I could tell this morning, after eating some scrambled eggs, that I do have a little restriction. I couldnt finish 2 scrambled eggs, but was hungry after about 3 hours...my stomach is growling so loud people walking by my cubicle at work can practically hear it LOL I'm not complaining though....I'm a happy girl today!
