A very ironic NSV

Well, I went in for a CAT scan tonight to try to find out about this horrible pain I've been having in my port area. I'm one year banded and have lost 80 pounds. While I was in the dressing room, I put on that little hospital robe and for the first time in my adult life, IT WRAPPED ALL THE WAY AROUND MY BODY!!!

How ironic is that???

I just had to laugh, here I am exactly one year and one day post banding, and having major band pain and possible complications, but yet what an NSV!

LOL! At least at made me feel a tiny bit better!

Hey Sunta - awesome nsv - please keep us posted on how you are doing - I'm about 15 months out and have started occassionally having some pain in the port - a few times it felt extra hard and seemed to be sticking out more - a few times it was kinda burning...thinking it is passing thing but of course wondering too - It's certainly not from my losing weight - ha whereas I see you've lost quite a bit (congrats) - maybe it is closer to the surface on you now? Who knows - just hoping all is ok with you.

Sunta, what's going on with your band? Is everything OK?

Hi, thanks for asking. I'm still awaiting the results of my CAT scan. I believe it's either a hernia or some form of IBS, but that is just from my own research. My symptoms are a severe pain on the left side of my port. It's a pinching/spasming pain that feels like it's in the muscles and nerves. It comes and goes though and sometimes it doesn't hurt at all. It's more like an "attack" I'll get from time to time, but at those times it's very very bad. It could also be something with the port tubing, but again I'm waiting to hear from my doc. I'll post when I do find out what it is.

Well, if it's a hernia, that could be good news since hernias can be fixed, sometimes fairly easily. IBS can be a little trickier to treat, though. I was hoping you would have had your results by now. I'm sure you were, too. Keep us posted. We're all hoping for the best for you.

Could it be your gall bladder?

I have heard descriptions like yours from people who - after multiple mis-diagnoses - discovered they had gall stones.... those little things can be horrid!

Good Luck... let us know what your doc finds out.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
