i also have stomach spasms and dont know what its from. how did you go?

Hi All, i thought i better update you all, after may last posts i had my port out and it healed really well. im due to have my port back in at the end of July. since i had my port out i have bad really bad stomach spasms and pain, under my ribs and really now in my stomach. had anyone else had this? its been the worse pain ive been curled over in pain. since the opp i havent lost any more weight ither 8-( Hopefully when i have the port back in and filled it will fall off and i will have no pain.

i moved my posts to here http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f78/hoping-i-have-right-place-now-gross-pics-113419/ with new pics today Slimmap: pain no to with this just my back, loos bad but i feel not to bad other than having a HUGE hole in my chest. yes they will try again in 3 mths after they take it out, this is why i would like to wait and see how it goes, as its been 3 wks and i feel good now (didnt before hand) what if it happens again. i think ill have to get a scan done on my back if it doesnt get better as i have twin sons (3 .5 yrs) who are home fulltime so i need to get better not worse again.

i forgot to write it was healed after the opp and re opened to this.

i know it looks heaps bad but the good thing is i feel fine well my port hole anyhow. im getting in packed and changed every 2 days. today i took a photo as much as it looks deap i think it looks better. will know more Monday i guess, today the Dr's rang and said if they are happy with it they will leave it as it has to heal from inside out as OP wrote about their back. Didnt have a good sleep worried to hell about going under, i have twin sons only 3 and half so i really cant go bad to feeling like i was with my back as i was stuck in bed a few days to my hubby came home. here is the photo from today 16th April 2010: the pic was right after thw nurse took the dressing off so u can see so clear stuff around it.

Hi all, I'm new here so HELLO. I got my banding done 3wks today. On day four I rang to speak to my Drs about all the Fluid coming from my port site they told me to go see them or my local GP. I went to see my local GP as I could get in the next day (Tues) when I was going into town. So my GP looked at it said yes its infected and wrote me out a script after speaking to my Lap Band Dr as to what he wants me on. The nurse changed my bandages and at that time was only a tiny whole. As Easter was coming up at end of week (Fri - Mon) my the Dr's called me and asked to see me before the weekend just in case, it was starting to open up (pic 1) They then put me on my meds and said if I start feeling really bad to call the ASAP. I didn't feel to bad, to much back pain I guess (since opp) to worry about the port site. Tues after the Easter weekend I went to see my Dr who was happy (well as u can be with a hole in someone's chest) with the site (pic 2) he said its clean so stay on the meds 8 per day, he said it would open right up but not to worry. He went on leave 2 days later till end of May. I now have the dressing changed every 2 days, this pic (pic 3)was taken Friday (6 days ago) will get another tomorrow if I remember. So today I get a call from the staff asking how I was going, I told them other than my really bad back pain, I'm doing well, she asked me how it was going and I told her its still leaking and the hole is now 6cm deep (into chest) and 7cm long. With in 5mins she called me back say that the other Dr has seen my photos (these ones) whom my other Dr was happy with and said she is no way happy with it and its coming out Monday. So I feel abit worried, my Dr who knows me was happy with it as it was clean ect and his partner (work) wants it on now.... My worry is its taken me 3 wks (since opp) for my back to be feeling only a little bit better and now they want me to go back under. I feel fine, really I do. So looks like Monday my ports coming out. Has anyone had it this bad?? Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Sorry for the Gross pics
