I just had my second surgery today die to complications with my band tubing. It came disconnected from the port! Could use some words of encouragement! :/

That's too bad, but it is a very fixable problem. I'm sure it will be fine now that it's fixed. I've heard of people needing the entire band replaced because of a leak or other defect. I hope you heal quickly and are back on track soon!

Wow! I hate to hear that but am glad you were able to have another surgery to fix the problem. Just remember all that you have learned and you will be fine. Take it easy and follow your doctor's orders. Good luck.

Good Evening,

Just remember to take it easy and listen to doctors orders...i remember walking around helped me a lot. These darn foreign things in our bodies, why can't they just behave! Glad it well though. Ok, I don't mean to make you feel "bad" but when I was reading your post you put "die to complications" I just about fell off my chair. Once I read the whole thing then I seen you meant "due to complications". Again, I am always making spelling errors and I am not trying to point it out to everyone, but when you see "die" in a surgery forum it catches your attention. Glad it was just due!!!! Have a good night and glad you are ok!!!!!!:):

I was banded Oct15,2012 and had to have another surgery Jan 23 b/c of my port flipping. Surgery much easier then initial banding and no more problems. Dr told me it was very rare to have a port flip, that leaking tubes were more common.

Keeping fingers crossed and prayers said.lol

Best of luck to you

Buahaha! Dye not die. Although if it were "die" I'd be the books for posting on forums! ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
