I have rheumatoid arthritis and I receive medication once a month iv. Due to my heavy weight I had to get a medical port implanted so that they could get iv access. For 3 years I have had to choose clothing that would hide the port. Embarrassed how it looked and stuck out. I had rny to help my RA and reduce my need for medication. While I still receive the medication iv they are now able to get access with no problems, and today I had my port removed. Now I can wear the cute dresses and shirts with no thought about how my port will look, or if the clothes hide my port. As I have lost my weight the port stuck out more and more and you could actually see and move the device. Just another step to a healthier me!
