Just found out today that my surgery date is going to be February 4th! Totes psyched! Too bad it's such a long wait after my pre-op which was on the 6th of January.

Uhm, I GOT into smaller jeans. I don't think " hot" fits quite yet.

Hey guys How do I edit posts on here?? I just did a double cause I thought the first one didnt post and am trying to figure out how to delete!! Obviously new to this social media thing!!

I am on the mobile app and it just has a little blue down arrow I can click and it's one of the choices to edit

I ended up calling my medical assistant to the surgeon today. Apparently one of the dissolvable stitches is 'spitting' out at the end of my largest incision....she said that it's pretty common and that it will fall off on its own (when the part still buried in skin dissolves completely). I can either make the 2.5 hr drive for her to cut it off (it's barely poking out) or I can just keep it clean and dry and wait it out. I go back on the 1st for my first fill, she said if it's still there she will get it off.

Just wanted to share.

Thanks! I'll try it!

Hi everyone, here is my port where the bandaid is. You can see my incision from my port site too. My fill went fine today. He almost put 3 cc's in and I go back in 2 weeks for another fill.

Hi everyone we seem to all have reached the same level, im starting to get hungery at night times, first fill week wednesday.

One thing I have noticed is that im so tired at night time, normally i can keep going until 2300 without a problem but now 2100 im wacked.

Your port is way up there? Mine is midway between my boobs and bellybutton.

So I went in for my first fill today. The doctor gave me a shot of lidocaine and then stuck the needle in to find my port. He found it, but broke the needle and had to get another one. He poked me again, dug around and pressed really hard on my stomach for a couple more minutes with no luck. Then he gave the nurse a chance, she did the same thing for about as long...still no luck.

They took me back to the xray room and had me lay down. He inserted the needle again and dug around some more with additional pressing while the xray tech took a bunch of xrays. He still couldn't get it. At this point I am bawling my eyes out. It hurt so much.

Long story short, I have to go in next Thursday to have them open me up and flip my port around. This is bullsh*t. I went in for a fill and all I got was pain and my stomach gushing blood. I bled through multiple bandaids and my gauze.

So sorry to hear that. Did he have any idea why it flipped?

No. He just kinda walked out after he said it flipped and I didn't see him again. The nurse told me it just happens.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your port. :-( i feel like he owes you an explanation. Have you done any unusual activity?

No, I have taken it pretty easy the past few weeks.

Sorry about your port and the bad experience you had today! That is crazy!

Had my first fill today. No pain, no nausea, an overall great experience! On liquids the rest of the day and soft foods tomorrow and back to normal after that. I'm down 30lbs from my highest weight. (need to adjust my ticker). Have an awesome day everyone!

Did my weekly weigh in on my wii fit. I lost 1.3lbs this week for a grand total of 32.3lbs down since 10 days before surgery. (13.5 since surgery on feb 14th) I go for my first fill on April 1st. I am ready as I find myself being able to eat pretty much what I want, still moderating it....but I miss the restriction I felt in the beginning.

That's great! You are still losing even without restriction and that's something to be proud of! I am feeling so much better now since my fill. I eat my 1/2 of cup and stay satisfied for 3-4 hours after. Lost 2 pounds since Tuesday.
