Currently had a port revision due to a flipped port. I have had the band 3 years in july. I am 15 days post op. I am still sore and I apparently have fluid between my port and skin. I look deformed. Didnt know if this was a common thing. I have my post op appt on Thursday. I had to go to the er a week after surgery and thats when they found the fluid but it seems to have gotten worsr and all I was told was that it will go away. Anyone else experience this? Thanks

Milk of magnesia for sure. tried a stool softner and did nothing for me.

hi, i am also hypo and while i was in the hospital they dissolved it for me but when i got home i called my doc for another reason but i asked if i could take it with out dissolving it and he said yes because its small enough it shouldnt get stuck. Im 3 weeks out and have had no problems. Good Luck!

Well tminus 4 hours and i will be in surgery, a bit anxious(have been since yesterday) but excited and relieved this day has finally come. I have waited so long and have worked so hard for this. will let everyone know how it goes.

Im so sorry to hear that, but i know excactly what ur going through. i have had thyroid issues for about 9 years if u take it in the morning everyday and dont miss a dose u should be fine. it also depends on what dosage he gave u. The highest my levels ever got was 224, the doctors wondered how in the world i was even moving. i told them i was but in slow motion. Good luck to ya!

hi guys, my surgery date is the july 16th, very excited. im on preop diet now, the first few days were rough but ive gotten on a schedule and its not so bad now. glad to be on here and to be able to ask any questions and to have the support of people who know exactly what im going through. good luck to everyone!

Ive been through the first week of my low carb high protein diet. Im drinking the isopure and i can only eat yogurt, sf pudding and jello and unsweetened applesauce. My surgery date is July 16. its tough this first week has been very challenging for me, but i just keep thinking of how this will benefit me in the end and it keeps me motivated. good luck with everything!
