I wish u best luck with antibiotic ,

My dr try everything not to have another

Surgery but it didn't work so they removed the

Port & next Friday I'm having 3rd surgery

To put in a new port

How long were you out of work when they removed the port? I am so scared that i am going to have to have it removed. She said that if they did, it would stay our for 3 months and then go back a replace it. I haven't told anyone at work that I had the surgery. Not sure how I would explain having 2 more surgeries!

Lucky me I'm a mom at home so I didn't lose any work days .

My dr told me that they can put back the port 6 weeks after it was removed but since Nyu didn't do any surgery because of hurricane sandy I had to wait a little longer ...

I had an issue with my incision a few weeks out. It turned out not to be infected but yet the dissovible stitches didn't fully dissolve. He went in and snipped out what didn't and all was good. It was pretty minor. Hopefully, yours is minor too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
