The continued story...

May 2, 2006 ~ I went in to see my Primary Dr. He felt so bad with what has happened to me. I told him the story and as I started to cry I told him " Dr. Allen, please, I dont want to see that Dr. again I am so scared" He told me that I didnt have to. That he just wants to get my wound all healed up and HE will find me another band Dr. WOW I felt so good about all that. He also wanted me to see a wound specialist once a week until everything heals up. I really didnt want to but he was really conserned so I agreed. He also gave me more pain meds to help me deal with this pain.

May 4, 2006 ~ I went to see Dr. Driscoll a wound specialist. He was really nice, and I had to go through the whole story with him too. He looked at my wound and said that it looks like it is healing nicely but he wanted me in there once a week. So I made an appointment to see his partner next Thursday.

***Thats My Story***

Today, Me and my Hubby went to my moms house to vist. As I was sitting on the chair I would get these bad sharp pains where my wound is, like my muscles were spasaming it was very pain full. But when John (my husband) was packing my wound today I noticed a lot more blood then pus. This excites me because that is a good sign of healing... nice new cells building up in there. I guess I have to take each day one at a time Its hard but I know I can do it.

I still cant wait to get a new band. Boy can I eat! last week I was so depressed I ate 2 bags of candy in 2 days :kiss I should NOT have done that. I need to start really watching what I am eating. I dont want to gain the 50 pounds I already lost.

One more thing before I go..... NOT one time this whole week did my Band Dr. call or the nurse just to see how I was doing... Nothing! how mean!!!! well fine then because I am NOT going back there again!

Time for me to enjoy a nice weekend with John! :clap2:

whew.........I am glad to hear a good end to your story. So your entire band was removed or just the port and tubing?

Just my band was removed. I am suppose to go May 25th to get a new band. I still have the band in now with no port. But I think with the healing process I will have to wait much long then May 25th to get a new band. Plus I want to find another Dr. Thank you for reading my story. I know It was long :biggrin:
