Well I am sorry for the added surgery and traumatic experience but I am thankful that the port is coming out and not your band. You should PM Lisa and talk to her.

You will be in my prayers and thoughts. I just wish I was closer to you. I would pack that area for you FREE!!

Im back all done... no port just a big hole... which i havent seen its all covered up. It was the worst thing i ever went through Im still shakey from the experience. after i was all gaused up I had bad pain in my chest Dr. said that it was from maybe him tugging on the port a bit. then I couldnt breathe I was gasping for air crying and screaming it was the worst feeling ever.

Anyway my Dr. did not find any infection but He thought that since i was taking the antibiotics the pus was not showing up yet. He says we got out the port in time before it did start getting pus.

Well thats my story, Im still very shakey from the whole thing.. and I guess I should go lay down.

I will be home tomorrow... I have to go by the Dr.'s office in the morning to get my hole repacked. but i will be on later.

(((((hugs))))) everyone! I sure do need all the hugs i can get.

Well I am finally home. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. You all have been such a wonderful support! The drive home was a little rough but better then I thought it would be. I will be back in CO in two weeks to have my hole stitched up. I hate the fact I even had to have this hole at all. I am ready to heal up get my new band and start this journey all over.

Thanks again everyone for your warm hearts!!

Hanging in there... The burning in my wound is getting better. My MIL has been sending her nurse in to help with the packing. John (my hubby) did it one time and I yelled screamed and tried to kick him... I think he is scared of me now. It also seems to be healing.. I am going back to CO this friday to have it stitch up.. boy I cant wait. also I am getting excited about getting my new band. I hope it works this time and I can melt away.

I have been having bad pains on my left side right under my apron tummy... I thought they were gas pains but I had it since Sunday and took Gas X and Milk of Mag. nothing helps it seems to get worse. I have no idea what it could be. If its not one thing its another. Ugh!!!! I hope its not Gallstones.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
