3rd times the charm??

So in about 12 hours I'm having my third surgery in three months. since two weeks post op, I've been battling a port incision infection. 4 rounds of antibiotics later, I'm currently laying here with an open port incision with scar tissue and granulated fat tissue sticking out of it. About 6 weeks ago, my port tubing popped through and they had to go in there to fix it.

My surgeon will be opening up my port incision tomorrow to irrigate the wound and possibly removing my port. I hope he doesn't have to because that means in about 6-8 weeks I'll have to have yet another surgery to place my new port.

With all the little(to me at least) complications, I still love my band. I'm down 46 ish pounds.... 46 lbs I have never been able to lose on my own.

Just remember, when things seem rough, think about all the good things that have come from your band. I know there are some people out there that would give their band back in a second, but I'm happy :-) 46 down, 80 to go! I'm a 1/3 of the way there!

Wish me luck tomorrow!!

Oh my, you have a wonderful attitude! I just had a revision, myself. Thank God, no complications, no removal of band, etc. I feel great, except, I have no restriction. that should be taken care of on Wed. You keep your spirits up! With your attitude and a great surgeon, you will come out on the right side of weight loss! Good luck! Karen

Bailey Rose, since I had not read anything recently about your incision was thinking everything was doing good. Sorry to hear that you are back under the scapel, but you have the best attitude ever. Keep on keeping on with what you are doing, and much good luck to you today.

Thanks for the support ladies! Karen- so good to hear everything went well with your revision.

Things went pretty good. He did remove my port and will put it back in hopefully by Christmas. This surgery and recovery has been much easier than the actualy placement of the band. I had such terrible gas pains that lasted 8 days with my band, but this time it was open surgery which means no gas! I was so happy. So I'm just taking it easy and I should be back to work on Friday :-)
