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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
