Sad couldn't get my fill today



Recommended Posts

Went to get my fill and wasn't successful because my port looks flipped. Going to see my surgeon tomorrow in hopes he is able to do my fill, if not I may have to have another surgery to flip my port back around. Has anyone ever had this problem? :(

I had this happen on my very first fill. I went back in a couple of days later and they checked it under x-ray. It was flipped so they went ahead and put me to sleep to flip it back where if needed to be. The surgery wasn't bad, and I haven't had any more issues with it.

That's great to know I was under X-ray but she wanted me to see my surgeon. Thanks 4 making me feel better, I was very concerned.

I am honing back today to get an X-ray to see if my port has flipped. I have had my band for three weeks and couldn't get a fill because the surgeon couldn't get the needle in. Can't believe I'm having problems three weeks into this.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
