hi everybody well I havent been writing to the forum for a long time because there's nothing new. IT ıs been almost one year now since I had the surgery but I could not lose even one pound ..You know It ıs due to the fact that I have not had a proper filling.I am so upset and sad... what can I do...:w00t:

It sounds funny ısn’t it? But 4 months ago I had my lap band placed in my stomach while I had abdominal hernia operation: And guess what happend to me afterwards. I had my filling port right in the middle of my belly!!! And then after one month I went to doctor for my fırst filling. But ooops! The doctor could not find the capsule. He tried lots of times but unfortunately it was nowhere . Well I am gonna tell the rest of my long story later(if you are interested in) Bye for now.

I have now a 5.5 cc fill in the band but that does not control my eating at all. Really, I have no difficulty with the swallowing or eating. Sometimes it hurts a little if I do not chew properly but it passes quickly and again :sad_smile: I go on eating as much as I want.:scared2:

I have the same kind of pain on my left shoulder. Is it due to food? I had no idea about this?

Yes I have those pains as well.

Well I am Turkish and my doc is supposed to be the best one in Turkey. I mean concerning these operations. But he had a new experiment with me . He placed my lap band during my tummy operation. Therefore the port of the band he had to place somewhere in my tummy and it got lost. And now although the place is fixed he can not reach to it at one shot. Very weird situation indeed.:cry

Thank you sweetheart. I hope this time the dr. will be able to hit the right spot and enter the capsule! He called me and told me to be at the hospital :cryon Thursday.

Thank you Legster. On Thursday I will have another try for filling ..I hope this time the dr can get into the capsule at once and I do not get hurt anymore

What do you say?

I said to the dr ''if such a device was available why did you put me all through this agony?'' All he says is well I tried! And I suffered so much pain !!! Because each time he tried he at least sticks the injector ten times and it hurts soo much. Now I am lloking for the next trial. I mean filling! Ok guys I will keep you informed. Pls wish me good luck Thank you very muchfor your interest ISIL

Now the infection problem is solved and my doctor called me to the hospital and said that this time he will do the filling with the help of a device which can enable him to see where he is sticking the needle. The name of the device is something like SCOPY. My goodness I said if something like

Oh yes I was so upset because of these filling failures ( meanwhile I ate even more than I ate before and put 5 more kilograms.) And I was very angrry with the doctor. I said What we shall do next ? He said we will now wait for your infection to heal. Ha!! Because this time I had got an infection around the port. Ohh how miserable I felt I cannot tell you. I cried I was so much worried. And had so much pain and ache.

Listen friends .. I am a 63 year old lady and I live in Turkey ..and such operations are very new here... for writing the whole story all at once is my struggle with this computer. I write and write and all of a sudden all the copy is gone. Where does the copy go?. Especially for a woman at my age... my trouble is with the computer .Anyway listen to the rest of the story but I am very afraid if the copy gets out of sight again. Well where was I? Huh. Listen let me look at my last message

Well if you want to listen to my story ok I go on. After the second operation which the dr fixed (placed) the port and I went for a fill, this time again the dr still could not succeed again. Bacause this time ROUND THE PORT, THE DR SAİD, A FLESH HAD WOUND UP AROUND THE CAPSULE İTSELF SO İT MADE THE İNJECTOR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET İNTO THE CAPSULE. cAN YOU IMAGINE MY FRUSTRATION... wELL SHALL ı TELL YOU THE REST?

and then the dr told me to have an xray of my belly so that he can see where the port was. And I had the xray and we saw that the port had gone down to a place near the big intestines. And the dr said to me that I had to have another operation to locate the port somewhere up near my stomach. So I said ok and had the operation. And then 3 weeks passed and I was alright and then went to dr again for a fill. And you know what happened this time...
