Sad couldn't get my fill today



Recommended Posts

Went to get my fill and wasn't successful because my port looks flipped. Going to see my surgeon tomorrow in hopes he is able to do my fill, if not I may have to have another surgery to flip my port back around. Has anyone ever had this problem? :(

I had this happen on my very first fill. I went back in a couple of days later and they checked it under x-ray. It was flipped so they went ahead and put me to sleep to flip it back where if needed to be. The surgery wasn't bad, and I haven't had any more issues with it.

That's great to know I was under X-ray but she wanted me to see my surgeon. Thanks 4 making me feel better, I was very concerned.

I am honing back today to get an X-ray to see if my port has flipped. I have had my band for three weeks and couldn't get a fill because the surgeon couldn't get the needle in. Can't believe I'm having problems three weeks into this.

      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! 😞
