I am on the mobile app and it just has a little blue down arrow I can click and it's one of the choices to edit

I ended up calling my medical assistant to the surgeon today. Apparently one of the dissolvable stitches is 'spitting' out at the end of my largest incision....she said that it's pretty common and that it will fall off on its own (when the part still buried in skin dissolves completely). I can either make the 2.5 hr drive for her to cut it off (it's barely poking out) or I can just keep it clean and dry and wait it out. I go back on the 1st for my first fill, she said if it's still there she will get it off.

Just wanted to share.

Hi everyone, here is my port where the bandaid is. You can see my incision from my port site too. My fill went fine today. He almost put 3 cc's in and I go back in 2 weeks for another fill.

Your port is way up there? Mine is midway between my boobs and bellybutton.

So I went in for my first fill today. The doctor gave me a shot of lidocaine and then stuck the needle in to find my port. He found it, but broke the needle and had to get another one. He poked me again, dug around and pressed really hard on my stomach for a couple more minutes with no luck. Then he gave the nurse a chance, she did the same thing for about as long...still no luck.

They took me back to the xray room and had me lay down. He inserted the needle again and dug around some more with additional pressing while the xray tech took a bunch of xrays. He still couldn't get it. At this point I am bawling my eyes out. It hurt so much.

Long story short, I have to go in next Thursday to have them open me up and flip my port around. This is bullsh*t. I went in for a fill and all I got was pain and my stomach gushing blood. I bled through multiple bandaids and my gauze.

No. He just kinda walked out after he said it flipped and I didn't see him again. The nurse told me it just happens.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your port. :-( i feel like he owes you an explanation. Have you done any unusual activity?

Had my first fill today. No pain, no nausea, an overall great experience! On liquids the rest of the day and soft foods tomorrow and back to normal after that. I'm down 30lbs from my highest weight. (need to adjust my ticker). Have an awesome day everyone!

Did my weekly weigh in on my wii fit. I lost 1.3lbs this week for a grand total of 32.3lbs down since 10 days before surgery. (13.5 since surgery on feb 14th) I go for my first fill on April 1st. I am ready as I find myself being able to eat pretty much what I want, still moderating it....but I miss the restriction I felt in the beginning.

      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.
