One week post-op. Dealing with infection at port site. Need Prayer.

[lilacyellow 0]

I had my lap band surgery last Wednesday (November 9). I had to spend the night in the hospital because I had a large hiatal hernia that had to be repaired. Two days after surgery, there was redness and pain at the site of my port. Back to clinic for strong antibiotics which are now causing diarrhea. I'm drinking lots of liquids and 3 Protein Shakes a day (20g. each). Today is the first day I'm beginning to feel better. I go see my surgeon tomorrow morning to check the port site. If any of you are prayer warriors, I could use some prayer to heal this infection so they don't have to operate again.

Although I've had complications, I am still glad I did this. I had great reservations the week before and almost canceled it. Now, I'm focusing on the long-term benefits and looking forward to a healthier me!

Thanks for prayers.

May the Lords healing hands touch you. Lord please give the Physicians wisdom and the power to diagnose and heal. May you have the strength on this journey towards success in weight loss. That you may go forward to honor and serve God for all the blessings he has given to you in your life. Amen

Thanks for your prayers. Surgeon said the infection at the port site is superficial. He took me off the antibiotics which were making me very sick. Within 12 hours, I was feeling better. Today, I feel almost normal. Thank you Lord.
