Port Flip - Post Op

Originally banded in June 2013 and my port flipped in October, so back to surgery I went for a port revision. Surgery completed around Thanksgiving and I got a fill of 1cc; and I am still healing but I am back to being able to work out in the gym. I am suffering with constipation now and I can't stand it!! Any advice on a long term resolution for this issue?

Ready to get back onto my weight loss plan of attack, this is the best decision that I could have made for redefining my life!!

I had my first band about 3.5 years ago. Got down to goal almost but for six months a constant throwing up. They thought band had slipped. So they went back in and my stomach had adhesed to my spleen They had to remove band, separate stomach and spleen and stitch with 100 staples which according to surgery is not a lot. I was devastated. Had no idea the band might be removed. It took about 6-9 months of insurance company hoop jumping and finding a new surgeon. What a difference a more experienced surgeon made. The fills have always been a breeze. First surgeon fills were always problematic.

Glad you're back on the road again. Even with my issues I'd do it all over again. Wait, I did do it all over. Lol. My daughter is a bander also.
