June 6th 2013 made one year since i was banded. I initially started at 451 lost 50 pounds before the surgery and lost another 30 pounds a few months after being banded. I had some complications not with the band itself but with the port a few weeks after surgery. I ended up with MRSA in the port area and i went on antibiotics and the surgery scar opened up then i had to stuff the hole with iodiform for months and the infection never quite went away. They decided to leave the band but removed the port after determining finally that it was the source of the infection. Then a few more months of stuffing the hole with iodiform to soak up any residual infection until the hole closed and healed. I finally had a new port put back in just a few days ago and my scars are still in the process of healing. Now that ive given a bit of my backstory heres my question. How do i get back on track when i seem to have lost my way and cant get things right. Its like ive forgotten what im supposed to do and not supposed to do. I got aggravated dealing with the infection and got off track. I started getting pretty down hearted. Eating things i shouldnt eat, drinking when i eat because it seems to just sit there in my throat if i dont, drinking soda and now im able to eat way more than i should but still not as much as i used to. Is it too late for me to get things moving in the right direction? Any advice on similar situations or applicable info and how you overcame it would be welcome. Ty.
