DeeDee40 3 Posted November 18, 2010 I did go to my dr today. After he checked me and I told him again all the pains I was having, he was very supportive of me! I was so worried. He called in his nurse that does the fills for his office to talk to me. She said its rare but she has heard of this happenning before (with all the gas pains I have had) and she wanted to try something. Even though I just had surgery on the 11th maybe I had AIR that was left! She had me lay down and did what she called an unfill! She took out 3 1/2 cc of air out my port!OMG it was like the biggest present anyone could ever give me. My eyes starting tearing up and she thought she had hurt me but god what a relief! She said when they do the surgery they test your port and everything and some air had gotten left behind. Yes, it sucks it happened on my case (especially since I work in the medical field) but at least all this pain was not in my head! I have to tell u I feel so much better right now. So for anybody that feels like something just isn't right please go get checked. Because if it had not been for my fellow bandsters I would not have even known that was I was going through wasn't normal and that I should call my doctor. So to you guys that gave me hope and your experiences I am truly grateful. When people started saying go to the dr its exactly what I did. Just wanted to let you guys know you are truly an inspiration. I could not have gone through this without you! So, now I am ready to work this band, I even ate yogurt today. Finally! So wish me luck I have not thrown up or anything. And the gas pains are bearable! Yeah! Thanks from the bottom of my heart! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
