Well it all went well last night!!!!!

I got to the hospital at 4:30pm, waited in the waiting room til about 6:20pm

They took me back and prepped me and I went to the OR at 7:30pm and was back in the recovery at 8:15pm. left the hospital around 8:30pm and was home before 10pm(which I guess is good, considering we have about an hour drive from hops to the house)

Well back to the surgery.......

Once the doctor got in there, she was surprised that it was not the port causing the problem(it was still sewn in place right where it should be). It was actually the tubing, it had ridden up and buckled/kinked into a hump right under the main incision. All the rubbing it had done had caused a big sac of fluid to fill there.

She drained off all the fluid. Then she put the tube back in place and stitched it into place. She says she has never had to stitch one down before. So I guess that this must not be a common problem.

Thanks to all you that posted well wishes to me yesterday!!!!

Dodi - Thanks for reminding me that if I don't get the support I need at home I can get it here!! (your a doll)

Hubby has gotten over the money thing. It helped today when I found out that the hospital still had $1050 balance due on the originall banding surgery, I called and said no way!!!! This surgery was to be a set price $17,500. So the doctor's office got involved, She called me back and said That had been taken care of and I did not owe that. Yay!!!! I just saved hubby $1000 (LOL):ban: He was happy about that!!!

Glad they got you fixed up! Did you have local or general anesthesia?

I was thinking about you and wondered how you made out. Thanks for checking in. It sounds like the problem is fixed. That's the first I've heard of that problem too. I thought sure it was the port. I'm so glad you are back home, and even happier you saved hubby some money Please keep us posted how you are doing.
