Currently had a port revision due to a flipped port. I have had the band 3 years in july. I am 15 days post op. I am still sore and I apparently have Fluid between my port and skin. I look deformed. Didnt know if this was a common thing. I have my post op appt on Thursday. I had to go to the er a week after surgery and thats when they found the fluid but it seems to have gotten worsr and all I was told was that it will go away. Anyone else experience this? Thanks

When I had port revision, my Dr also said there was Fluid around port and it would go away.It did.

I just had my 2nd port revision this past friday 6/14/13 due to being flipped. This time it looks more swollen but my Dr. Said that he was going to use a mesh to make sure it stuck this time and did not flip. I hope this is the last time since I have been banded since 3/09. I have been having minor pain and went back to normal routine, just no heavy lifting.

I have to have a port revision as well. How much does it cost?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
