Just wondering about my first fill

[HoneyBrown 0]

Okay I had to get my port revised on Monday and my doc said he put 5cc's in there (have 11cc band), on Monday I didn't eat had liquids on Tuesday I ate more than I thought I should have, but from Wednesday and like right now, I don't have an appetite and I notice I go a long time without eating so I try to eat a cheese stick or apple sauce if i'm not all that hungry but I know I have to eat. My QUESTION ISSSS....do sometimes your fill take a long time to set in? I was just wondering:redface:

I can't answer about how long it takes for your fill to set in, but the reason I responded was I am glad to see I am not the only one who has had to have their port redone. I went in for my fill and they couldn't access the port and looked under fluroscopy to find it was rotated. I had 4cc put in but seem to be able to eat more than I could BEFORE the fill...which doesn't really make sense to me. Wishing you luck!

From reading some of the other post here at Lap Band, yes restriction may set in a few days or even longer after a fill. I'm noticing more restriction two to three weeks later, then I lose weight and the restriction is gone. By then I am scheduled for a fill. Do make sure, if you don't have an appetite, that you get Protein in. Very important. Good luck.

How exactly does your port flip or move if it is supposedly sewed on to your abdomen???

@ Zenaida...My port was located just above my belly button. 4 wks post op, I developed an incisional hematoma that caused me to have blood pouring out of my belly button. It was drained in the ER and left me with a large incision in my belly button. So large they could see my port from it. My surgeon said the hematoma caused damage to the tissue and caused the port to come undone (even though it was stitched) and it flipped over. I however, believe a lot of this is the surgeons fault. I had such a large wound and complained of pain and they never ONCE checked the stability of the port until they couldn't access it to do my first fill. Now that it is relocated, they swear it is REALLY stitched into place....we'll see.......
