Port fix Op and IVF!!!

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.

Peek your on for coffee, end of FY over and School Holidays done with I'm all yours, back on track now I think, feeling some restriction ... have booked in for a bit more of a fill in a week or so and we start round two of IVF in 2 weeks.

it's all good here :)
