Raushanah

Hi my is Raushanah. I'm a year out I'm not doing so good I really don't have anyone to talk to about my surgery and all that it entails. My family (some) tries to be supportive but if you haven't had the surgery its only so much you can understand. I found a support group closer to my home. Will be going to the next meeting which is next month. I live in the Petersburg Va. area. I've come to realize that I can't do this alone anymore its not working.

Thanks Jean I will

No it was in May when I had the surgery to fix the port and the end of June for my first fill.

Hi my name is Raushanah. I had lap-band surgery Jan 2011. I've had some ups and downs I've only lost like 30lbs. On my first fill it was discovered that my port had fliped. I had to wait till April to get fixed (insurance) didn't get my first fill till the end of May. I also had a seroma (fluid around the port)I gained some weight during the wait. I lost all I had gain but have not lost any more in six months. I've had about 4 fills in all and one unfill. I was on the depo shot. My doc said that could be the problem. Has anyone had this issue? I'm trying not to be discouraged with the lack of weight lost.

I had band surgery Jan 27 of this year. On my first fill I found out my port flipped had surgery to fix it two weeks ago. Saw my doctor Fri. he didn't seem to concerned about the fluid build up. But now I have more swelling around the port. Went online and found out that its called seroma, has anyone else had this issue.
