It sounds funny ısn’t it? But 4 months ago I had my lap band placed in my stomach while I had abdominal hernia operation: And guess what happend to me afterwards. I had my filling port right in the middle of my belly!!! And then after one month I went to doctor for my fırst

filling. But ooops! The doctor could not find the capsule. He tried lots of times but unfortunately it was nowhere . Well I am gonna tell the rest of my long story later(if you are interested in) Bye for now.

I want to know what happened!!! Sounds interesting.

and then the dr told me to have an xray of my belly so that he can see where the port was. And I had the xray and we saw that the port had gone down to a place near the big intestines. And the dr said to me that I had to have another operation to locate the port somewhere up near my stomach. So I said ok and had the operation. And then 3 weeks passed and I was alright and then went to dr again for a fill. And you know what happened this time...

The rest of the story? Please.

Well if you want to listen to my story ok I go on.

After the second operation which the dr fixed (placed) the port and I went for a fill, this time again the dr still could not succeed again. Bacause this time ROUND THE PORT, THE DR SAİD, A FLESH HAD WOUND UP AROUND THE CAPSULE İTSELF SO İT MADE THE İNJECTOR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET İNTO THE CAPSULE. cAN YOU IMAGINE MY FRUSTRATION... wELL SHALL ı TELL YOU THE REST?

Yes please

what the heck? Is there a reason you keep stopping and not telling us the whole story? I don't get it?????

LOL...attention, marieze, attention. Nothing better to do.

Listen friends .. I am a 63 year old lady and I live in Turkey ..and such operations are very new here... for writing the whole story all at once is my struggle with this computer. I write and write and all of a sudden all the copy is gone. Where does the copy go?. Especially for a woman at my age...

my trouble is with the computer .Anyway listen to the rest of the story

but I am very afraid if the copy gets out of sight again.

Well where was I? Huh. Listen let me look at my last message

Oh yes I was so upset because of these filling failures ( meanwhile I ate even more than I ate before and put 5 more kilograms.) And I was very angrry with the doctor. I said What we shall do next ? He said we will now wait for your infection to heal. Ha!! Because this time I had got an infection around the port. Ohh how miserable I felt I cannot tell you.

I cried I was so much worried. And had so much pain and ache.

Now the infection problem is solved and my doctor called me to the hospital and said that this time he will do the filling with the help of a device which can enable him to see where he is sticking the needle.

The name of the device is something like SCOPY.

My goodness I said if something like

I said to the dr ''if such a device was available why did you put me all through this agony?''

All he says is well I tried! And I suffered so much pain !!! Because each time he tried he at least sticks the injector ten times and it hurts soo much.

Now I am lloking for the next trial. I mean filling!

Ok guys I will keep you informed. Pls wish me good luck

Thank you very muchfor your interest

ISIL

What do you say?

Well, that just sounds awful! I hope it will be all good for you from here on out.

Thank you Legster. On Thursday I will have another try for filling ..I hope this time the dr can get into the capsule at once and I do not get hurt anymore

Inisil,

Poor you! I hope everything goes well now.
