Pregnant and the Port



Recommended Posts

Hi guys:

I have not posted for a while but I told you guys a while back that I was pregnant well I am due 04/19/06, I know there might not be alot of people that can answer any of my questions but my last fill was back in 07/16/05 I was up to 2.2 cc then back in 9/3/05 I needed an unfill because I wasn't able to eat at all well I am now to 1.1 cc (yeah they took half my fill) well since then I have not gained but 1 pound and I am know 11 weeks almost 12 my question is what happens to the port, when I lay down you can feel it as if it was right on the top of my skin, can it get disconnected as my tummy gets bigger, I still have more than half way to go!! Can anyone answer my question??

Thanks!!

Hi,

I had a baby last April 19th. My port came free from the wall it was stiched to and now is totally flipped and I have to have surgery to have it fixed. I was from being PG because I had a fill in Sept. 2004 right before I found out I was PG and everything was fine well I went a couple months ago to have a fill and they could not due it.

Good Luck, Tracey

Hi,

I have not had the port fixed yet. I was hoping to go to see a Dr. Neal in Washington but he want 5000.00 to do it and I can go back to MX and have it done for 1800 or so. My band was placed by Dr. Lopez in Oct.30,03. Can hardly believe it has been almost 2 years.

ps I do not have pain.

I posted the same question on other bandster groups and no one else has had any problems, where was your port located. I am so afraid of having that problem and then having to pay out of pocket because I was a self paying patient!!! Good luck.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
