Second fill now 6.5 on 10 cc band missed port?



Recommended Posts

I WAS PRIMED WITH 2cc. Problem is I don't feel new large fill at all. I know this sounds weird but seeing where they put the band aid I don't think it got put in my port. I can feel my port and the area it was given is WAY TO LOW. Dr. wasn't my normal but his partner and floroscope wasn't used. Am I nuts? Problem is I have major knee surgery on Tues. and won't be able to get back in for fill again for 6/8 weeks. Doing well otherwise, 32# down since Jan 22. Being unable to exercise because of knee I have to be super careful with diet. Maybe I will feel totally different with first chunky meal since its been liquids since yesterday afternoon. Help please.

The port is like a cork like material. It would take an incompetent healthcare worker to not know the difference between soft tissue and the cork like material the needle penetrates?

Most people do not feel any restriction from the first 1-3 fills so if you don't feel any satiety/restriction, it's normal.

That's what I would have thought too. Must have just been my position when I say up a bit to do my "crunch" prior to fill because I heated up some chicken for lunch to test theory and woah, I now know what stuck feels like and what sliming is. I chewed very well but I am on pain meds I had to take it and combo of meat and pill = serious pain. Laughing 3 hours later.

I thought the same thing after my first fill. Then I laid down and felt where my port was and realized it is in a different place when I stand or lay.

      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! 😞
