The continued story....

Well after I got home from surgery I followed my bandster rules to a "T". But in June I was starting to eat everything! It was time for a fill.

:hungry:

June 23, 2005 ~ I went into Colorado to get a fill (1st fill). As I was I could feel it getting tighter. So I was happy that I would have restriction. We spent the weekend in Colorado site seeing, we also took my mom for a small vaction. We had lots of fun. I was being very careful the whole weekend not to over eat. So I really just under ate so I wouldnt get sick. By the time I got back home and back into my normal life I was able to eat everything again. I had no restriction what so ever. :cry

August 5, 2005 ~ I went back to Colorado for another fill

(2nd fill). This time taking my neice for a little vaction. Again I felt the fill that day he put it in. But after the weekend of having fun, by Sunday (when we are about to leave back home) I know I need a fill. The on call Dr. at the hospital paged my Dr. and he called me back saying he will met me at his office to have another fill.I thought that was very nice of him. (3rd fill) As he was working with the fill he would push in and out really fast trying and making sure he was talking out all of the air bubbles out. I thought this worked. And it probably did for a few days, but after that nothing.

November 18, 2005 ~ Again I went back for another fill (4th fill) This fill was very painful for me, while my Dr. was putting the needle in he was unable to find my port and he was pushing really hard. I could hear the grinding of the needle against my port, its like it echoed in my won body. I get the chills now just thinking about it. My Dr. notice that what ever he was putting in that same amount was NOT coming back out. Also at this time I could not feel the adjustment at all. My Dr. put his head down almost is shame. He said I had a leak in my port and I would have to have surgery again.

they put me down for surgery on Dec. 22. I also reminded him of the numb area (where he cut the nerve) That I was in a lot of pain there so if he could look at it while I was under.

December 22, 2006 ~ I went in for surgery to have my port replaced. I ask my Dr. if he could also move my port down about 2inches. It was originally placed right under my rib and I was in a lot of pain driving or sitting down to long. Again I reminded him of the sharp pains I was feeling where it was numb on the surface of the skin, but painful inside. He marked an X where he would look.

I came out of surgery groggy like normal. I was told there was a massive scar tissue around the tubing and he cut it away. He also put in 2cc's of saline while I was under (5th fill) I went home that same day to be with my family for Christmas. It was a hard and painful Christmas for me.
