Hi Dini ,I'm sorry to be no help to you at all but as i've not been told anything about The Hospital Group taking over ACS i was wondering when you were told you had an appointment on the 18th Sept ?as i just posted below they keep telling me about surgeon's licence and can't tell me when i'll see anyone at all ,again i'm sorry to be no help and hope you feel better soon ,

Hi again ,i also keep getting told that they are waiting on the surgeon's to get their licence to practice here ??has anyone else been told that ?i feel like i'm up against a brick wall here ,thank's.

Hi all ,sorry i've not been on in months but i have been so pissed off that i could not even come on ,i was banded last October and have had only 1 fill in January and that has been it ,have had no appointment since ,no help at all from ACS ,is anyone else in the same position ?thanks a million ,any help or advice would be fantastic ,i thought by now i'd be a little way to where i wanted to be .

Hey everyone , as you may remember had a problem with "something" :faint:sticking out between my boob's and had no idea what it was but the mystery has been solved , the tube that is coming from my port and travelling under my left boob and going down to my band is not too deep under my skin so that is why i can feel it there i was told i could have it fixed no bother if it was giving me trouble but as it will do nothing to me to have it there i'd rather not get knocked out again so i've decided to leave it as it is ,i was so relieved that it was only that and nothing serious and the girls in ACS reception were great and i met with the surgeon who was lovely and put my mind at ease ..port site has all healed well but the lowest scar [just above the belly button]is still covered and tis still a bit weepy but coming on nicely ,can't wait to have a fill as i still feel like i can eat too much ,i seem to have lost some weight but as i never weighed myself before i got it done i don't know how much,thanks for all the advice,talk to ye soon :confused:

Hi all , Going to get it looked at today and will let ye know the outcome,thanks so much for all the advice and help ,it's great to have some others to talk to that are in the same boat and also fantastic to see all the weight loss, i've not had any fills yet so i'm mad to get started, Thank's again ,talk soon .

Hi all ,i was banded on the 14th oct 07 so i've not had a fill yet,looking foward to that ,i was told by Coco that this is where all the Irish were ..lol..so thank you for that ,i was worried about something that happened to me Sunday night after i'd had a shower ,i found something sticking out from between my breasts and didn't know if it was my port or not as i also have bigger scar under my left breast so i thought that's where my port was ,i rang Owenstown House yesterday and was told by a female nurse to ring back in half an hour as the other nurse was doing dressings so i said ok will do but when i did there was a guy answered who was no help whatsoever, i said i'd rang half hour before and was told to ring back he asked me who told me to ring back and i said a female nurse told me he said there was no female nurse here i said i think she was foreign nurse he said there were no foreign nurse there at all,so i thinking does this guy think i have nothing better to do than pretend i was talking to a nurse [made me feel like a looney even before i told him what was wrong]so i told him that i was feeling fine and had my stitches taken out and he stopped me talking by saying to me that I'D MADE BIG MISTAKE AS HE SAID I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD MY STITCHES OUT BY NOW ,so i was like WHAT???i was given the date to have my stitches out by the nurses in Dublin and thats what i did,so he mumbled something else and asked me the problem, even though he said he was in theatre with me could not tell me where my port was or what this could be ,he made me feel so silly for even ringing about this that i now just feel like crap ,he told me to get onto my own area and ask the nurse to look at it but when i was getting my stitches out i asked her if the reason the one under my left breast was bigger was because that was where the port was she didn't know she said she only takes stitches out :phanvan,i told him this he fobbed me off i also told him that the nurse's are not there everyday he said they are but i was told by the nurse that if i was worried about my scar's [which have not healed well] to ring and make an appointment because they are not there everyday ,i told him this he fobbed me off ,i asked him what was the point in giving a number you should ring if your worried about something when it was of no help he just said i can't see you so i dunno what it is ,don't worry about it and just go out and enjoy the weather and go for a long walk ????????????those were his exact words ,so that's what 10,000 euro got me ,i'm so pissed off now ,i could not even be bothered to ring my local office [even tough they have been lovely ],what does band slippage feel like ,could that be what this is ?thanks ,and sorry for the rant ..lol

Hello everyone , I was banded on the 14th of this month and have finally been feeling less sore and have all my stitches removed but just last night i found a bulge between my boobs where i had stitches removed from :faint:,i really hope it's my port i'm feeling and seeing as it was not there before ,it felt like a little spot under the skin until last night but now i can really see it sticking out ,it's not there when i lie down but it is standing up ,feel a little panicked by it as i was not told where my port is meant to me as i just thought it was under my left boob as that seem's to be the biggest scar ,i'm in Ireland and it's a holiday here at the moment so i've nobody to ring to find out about it ,,also feel now that when i swallow i can feel it but i think that may be in my head ,,lol,,panic ,,has anyone had the same?? THANKS
