Getting a port revision...worried!



Recommended Posts

I haven't been in a good place with my band for a few months now, ever since I started having to have my fills under xray because he couldn't access the port in the office. My doc told me during the last fill that my port had flipped. It was almost a relief because I've been spiraling out of control in terms of my eating because I was so depressed about my band not working. So, I set up the date for my revision surgery, but now I am worried. Did I do something that caused it to flip? The doc said that it wasn't the pilates and hard work outs that I do, but I have felt pain while working out and am worried that this is what caused the flip. The doc told me that it wasn't, so do I make any changes when I have the surgery? Or just keep working out as usual?

my port has also turned/flipped. I too would like to know the cause of this so I can avoid it happening again. I dont have a regular exersize routine. But I walk ALOT always working around the house and garden with the kids. How can we avoid this?

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

      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! 😞
