:tt1: I want a drink! Feels like the old army has tromped through this mouth of mine. It's one of the worst parts of surgery - no liquids beforehand. I'm going in to fix my port in a couple hours. I'm a little bit nervous but it's supposed to be a piece of cake. Crossing my fingers and toes. I really need a fill even though I'm afraid to be too tight. The last couple of nights I've had the last meal syndrome. I know it's a mix of nerves, depression and just wanna get a few things in before I'm too tight to eat them. Anyone know if they unfill me when they do this? Really hope not cause I'm close to my sweet spot now.

Thinking about you today! Let us know how it goes.:tt1:

Hope everything well well sugar!!

Let us know how the surgery went and are they going in your old scar or what?

Good luck, Ezzie....we'll be thinking about you!! You're going to do great!! Update us when you feel up to it!

Best of luck to you today!! Update us when you can.

I'm home and high as a kite on pain meds. Pretty sore but it wasn't too bad. They did use general anesthia instead of just a local with sedation. He went in thru the same incision site so that was nice. It turned out to just be a kinked tubing. He removed the scar tissue and unkinked it. And bonus - he did a fill right on the table. Can't tell much but I feel a bit full on half a yogurt. Seems to be staying down fine. Hard way to get a fill but glad it's done. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. It helps so much to know you have such good friends on your side.

I'm glad to hear it went well! I hope you feel better soon!

Glad you are doing well. Hope this fill turned out to be a good one!

Glad it is over for you and glad it was not anything too serious. Take some time to rest. Remember to get up and walk around some so you don't get blood clots. :Angel_anim:

How are you? I'm always thirsty and not having anything to drink is always really hard when I was going to have surgery.

I'm doing pretty good. I have to go in and see the nurse this morning because my incision site is getting really red and hot. They think it's bruising or cellulitis (some kind of infection thing). I don't think it's bruising cause it's still bright red with no signs of bruising after two days. Either way I'll know in about an hour. I really didn't need to miss another day of work though.

Hey Ezma, I haven't really been around much so I hadnt seen this before. I'm so glad things went good for you! Hang in there chickie and things will start moving back in the right direction as far as your band goes.

Woohoo! Back in the game -- best of luck!

What did the nurse say Ezma?

She wasn't sure about it so she called the surgeon and had him come over from the hospital. They ended up giving me some antibiotics because he wasn't sure if it was infected or not and didn't want to take a chance. It started clearing up real fast after I started taking them and now it's shrunk way down to just two coin-sized spots. I'm so glad it is too I was very afraid that they would have to open it to drain and he said they would have to take it out if they had to do that. Eeek.

Well I'm certainly glad they didn't have to take it out. That would have been frustrating. I'm glad you're doing better.

Thank everything for antibiotics.
