First of all, Donali, I am speechless!! I just read your post and my jaw is still sitting on the floor. I couldn't imagine having that happen to me. I just had my IUD out and I feel like I lost a part of me. Couldn't imagine my band.

Delarla, I like your new name "portless". Kinda fits you to a T!

I am sad that you are portless, but I guess it is for the better.

I am truly Thankful that I have not had any problems. I go in tomorrow to get a fill. I have gained about 4 lbs in 3 weeks.

I am so sorry about everyone's problems on this board here lately. All of you are always in my thoughts!!

I too am very sorry for those who have been having problems with their bands.. ports etc... This is by far the greatest support group that Iam involved in and even though I have not met any of you in person I feel so close to all of you. Without this board and everyone's knowledge and support I would be one lost soul.

Donali - I just want you to know you have been on my mind all day ever since I read your post this morning. You out look and attitude is phenominal. I truly admire your strength!

Lisa- as always you have me rolling with laughter, . Thanks for posting Your port pics, they look pretty good considering everything you have been thorugh in the last week. You are an amazing woman.

Penni- I too hope you are doing well and recovering from your ordeal last week.

You are all in my thoughts

Michelle
