Latest Fill - Not Happy



Recommended Posts

Feeling all great cause I lost another 7 pounds and ready to get my fill....Well, hold that thought because my doctor had trouble getting the needle into the port. Off to X-Ray I go to make sure everything is okay, low and behold my internal stitches have separated and my port is backwards!! I was devastated.....bless my doctor cause she felt so bad for me since she had to explain the only way to fix it is another surgery that takes about 15 minutes.. She says this sometimes happens or with my exercise I pulled to hard and they separated. I'm still somewhat crushed about this and just don't know what to do next..

Has this happened to anyone else??

It's not happened to me, but I read about similar happening here a lot. It seems port flips are a lot more common than band slips. Thankfully, as your doctor said, port flips are a very quick and easy fix.

I know there's quite a few on these forums who've had this happen. Hopefully, someone chimes in and shares their story with you.

In the search bar you can simply type in port flipped and the threads will come up. Good luck to you.

      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! 😞
