Hi Amy! Thanks for your note! It turns on my port was cracked..and he only had to make ONE incision and replace that, rather than replace the entire band. I think he affixed the port in a certain manner, because i surely feel the thing now...i had to press aorund more before to feel it! In any case, he only entered 3cc's at time of surgery, so i hope when i go on 2/5, he'll put a good fill so i can feel restriction again

Thanks for the support!

Hoping you're doing well! I had my port 'reattached' on new years eve only to find out once he got in that there was a leaky port! And he's moved to a new hospital and no port there! Luckily I was quite out by then so missed the mad rush to another hospital for one. Healing up well and came on to catch up and saw your similar story! I was banded on July 20 so I feel your pain. Literally. *gentle pats*

Hi there! Wow you did yours on new years eve? How are you doing now? Im pretty much healed..but no restriction at all yet. Hopefully soon! So thats 3 of us banded in July that have had leaky ports....what are the odds huh? I hope your doing well!!! Let me knowhow your doing! Thanks for the note!

      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! 😞
