hi,I had my surgery at 12 oaks hospital...nooo the hernia is from when i had my surgery,,doc didnt sew me up good which caused the hernia to come out of the opening of underlying tissue,,lol i dont know how to explain it..outside of my midriff looks great,,its whats under the scar..;-( I had a fill ,,had it removed couldnt handle it,,had a fill again and had it removed,,I dont know if my band is small or what..but anyway,,i get 3 free fills either fill or removed....then after that its 100$ each visit,,right now i have .3cc and satisfied with that....sorry i cant explain it better,,geegee http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/3;10711;131;0;0/c/-50/t/-133/k/3963/weight.png

hi,the first time i was filled it was 1cc..and before the nurse put it she said let me see if he put any in during surgery,,she withdrew 1cc..sooo alalong i had some when i was on the liquids after surgery...right now i am suppose to have .3cc ..as far as i know i have 3cc..she called and said time for a fill i said no ty,,last i heard from anyone,,i guess if you don't get a fill and give 100..4 they don't call sad,,sad..By the way i had a revision cut from navel up to my rib..thats where my port is,,what a place for one,,right under my bra....I am faing another surgery after my weight loss,and it for repair work..in the abdomen area under my scar is a opening which is from the surgery and a hernia to boot,,I cant bend over because the hernia pops out ..its like 3 inches long...will see when i lose it all what happens...I can go on and on about my surgery a real nightmare...geegee
