My Surgery Update

[TrishS 3]

Hi everyone, Yesterday I was feeling pretty good but now I realize it was because of the Meds I was on and still numb feeling from the surgery it self. Also my Dr. gave me a shot to numb my port area for 6-8 hours.. To help with the drive home.

Today I am In so much pain. I have pain in my OLD port area and in my NEW port area.

As you know I had my port replaced due to a leak. I ask my Dr. to also move my port down a little because it was sitting right under my ribs and rubbing on them when I sat down for long periods of time. This made it hard to drive without wiggling in my seat. My Dr. also gave me a fill of 2cc's while I was under, which scared me very much that he did that. But he was smart and numbed my port area really good and that allowed me to make an visit to his office on the way home for him to check on me. I was able to drink Water and also able to fill it go down but I wasnt to tight. He didnt go anywhere near my band so being swollen was not considered at all... Im still good I was able to eat last night and able to feel my band is there. Thats my port story!

Also you probably all remember me complaining about bad stomach pain. Not like real tummy pain but in my muscle area twards the surfce of my skin. Well he called it a Intusion ( i think thats what he said, i dont even know if thats a word lol) Anyway its a large mass of tissue growth. Right where the tubing went thourgh my muscle is where I had the tissue growth. When I moved werid, had bloating, stretched wrong.. it would feel or even maybe did rip some causing so much pain. He removed most of the tissue revealing my tubing again.

I have the pictures... The first one is before and the second one is after.. you cant see the tube, then you can.

WARNING: It is very gross... (to me anyway) Looks like some kind of rotten animal fat. You were warned.
