port abscess anyone?

Hi I am trying to find out if anyone else has had a port infection, had the port removed, and then had it replaced. I am trying to decide it it is worth getting it replaced. I would like to hear your story

How can you not get your port replaced? If you don't get it replaced you won't be able to get any adjustments which means that your band will not work the way it should.

I don't know anyone that has had an abcess but I do know people who have had their ports repositioned as they had tilted. As far as I am aware having the port fixed is a fairly minor procedure.

I am not sure I even want the band anymore. After the crap that has happened so far. I must have been tired when I wrote that post.

It sounds as though you have encountered a minor setback which at this stage of your journey is disappointing and pretty overwhelming.I understand why you are feeling negative.

However you have had the surgery which is the biggest hurdle to get over I don't think you should go backwards now. Get the port fixed, gets meds to clear up your abcess and carry on. Yes I know it's hard but I am sure in a couple of months you will be able to look back and see this for what it is, a minor pothole on the road to good health.

Things like this do happen. They are not part of the plan but for most they continue and achieve what they are hoping for. Weight loss and improved health.

Heres hoping that this will be you soon too.

I've felt discouraged so many times <3

It's gone away for me. I think depression and dissapointment is sometimes inevitable when you can't eat as much as you used to.

Cheer up and have a think about it. In the end you might just need some antibiotics <3
