Port fix Op and IVF!!!



Recommended Posts

Well guys it's been the ride of my life since being banded 28th March!

I started IVF the following week and was monitoring intake.

First fill was a non-event and ended up having to be done by X-Ray, only got .5 fill which wasn't enough, by the time I got back in to see my surgeon to tell him that that .5 wasn't enough he realised the port had unhooked itself! so I would have needed to go back under the knife, only problem was .... we had a positive pregnancy result! so Ultrasound was my only option for a fill. But I would wait until the next scan to make sure, and as bad luck would have it the pregnancy wasn't looking good.

So I waited for the next scan, and again not looking good so I put of the ultrasound for fill again.

Sad to say that we lost the pregnancy and I'm now booked in for the readjustment next Friday for a repair to the port and hopefully a bloody good fill.

The it's round two for IVF!

Basically at this moment in time I can eat pretty much anything I want to, just not as much, but I feel very little restriction which bothers me NO END!

So fingers crossed girls, fill and adjustment are successful, I lose a bit more weight, get back into exercise and IVF round 2 is a winner!

hopefully we are back on track!

Hi Nat,

thanks a million!

I'm pumped for my Port fix, and can't wait to get back on track.

I've kinda felt like an outsider, the band is in there but without restriction I felt for a while that I couldn't contribute to the site, like a bit of a faker!

but faker no longer

woohoo

I am rooting for you batkitty. You should be in getting your port fixed as we speak! I hope it goes well and you recover quickly.

I am sorry your pregnancy didn't stick. I know how much you wanted it and how devastating the bad news can be. Hugs.

coffee soon? I have been so busy of late - I know you understand. When you are up and running again, lets get together.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
