Port Revision hah!

[K@t 38]

Ok so the doctors painless quick 10 min surgery.....not so quick...about an hour...not so painless about a 5 (on a 1 to 10 scale) Not in horrific pain, but certianly not painless.

I guess some tissue had already grown around the port so he had a hard time getting it out and he actually burned ...yes I said burned, some of my flesh with a laser to get it out...then, when he was stitching me up..it flipped AGAIN! Can you believe it...he had to cut his stitches and flip it back and stitch me back up again.:tired

I love my doctor I think he's very competent but geezzzzzz......

needless to say i'm pretty sore. back to the couch for me.

OMG K@t! With this much contrary behavior going on with your band -looks like you are going to have to sit down with yourself and have a serious talk with your band and remind that the both of you are on the same team and that when it goes its merry way, you are the one who ends up paying the price! :frusty: :) :faint:

I hope you heal up fast and the soreness diminishes rapidly! I'll say a quick prayer for you at dinner today.

Awwwww....I am sorry girl! Take is easy! Hope you are back on your feet soon! Hugs....

Poor Baby! I hope you're all better soon. Sorry you had to go through the revision.

Bless your heart!! I'm no fan of pain either and that sure does sound unpleasant!

Get some rest and take advantage of not doing anything for a bit. Hope you're feeling better in no time

Thanks guys, it only hurts when I move.... It was fun letting the 2 surgeons shove their hands around my abdomen all afternoon.....:tired

Well hopefully the worst is over. And I guess the fill must be working...yesterday all I had was 2 cups of Soup and 2 liquid yougerts and that was it....and of course today it's all coming out....liquids and mushies for a week should give my weight loss a little kick...I hope.

I'm supposed to go back on Thursday to get the stitches out, I hope it doesn't look horrible because right now its a huge mass under the bandage.

Hey Heather! Your experience sounds horrible! Poor girl.... I hope you feel better soon!

So sorry Kat,

I'm proud it's over for you but my heart goes out to you for all of the pain and suffering. I hope your up and running very soon. Your an inspiration to all of us. Keep up the faith and this too shall pass.
