Flipped fixed,and 1cc fill first real dicscomfort

[focused 36]

So two weeks ago I told you all about my flipped port< was told by dr office its "no big deal to fix"

Well first let me tell you, im in more pain from the incision than I was with the initial surgery secondly I felt like there was no9 clinical support from the practice.....I think cause it was kind of their screw up they want to sweep it under the rug ... I think I should have been treated like a queen and spoken to people from the group (maybe a doc???)pre and post going into surgery..... no big deal to them but huge deal to me....

they did a 1 cc fill while in there and I feel more restricted then ever... im now 5 and can barely eat not sure if its still swelling from being open, but that is the port are or if this is normal....any ideas???

Define "barely eat"?

What are you eating?

Are you feeling more satiety?

The port being operated on shouldn't affect the tightness of the band. Two totally separate sites. Fills can cause some additional irritation to the stomach lining from the extra squeeze from the 1 CC fill.

Healthgrades.com is a company that monitors physicians performance and a bad mark goes a long ways in making them straighten up. But, they may take it out on you if they suspect it's you who gave them the bad review. Maybe an email letter to the physician might allow you to vent about their customer service or lack of?

As long as you can get your fluids in I would recommend staying put. It's when you can't swallow anything including Water or shakes is when you need to get a small unfill.

It's normal for the stoma to swell up to two weeks after a fill. If you were feeling some restriction before this fill, 1 CC may have been a little too aggressive? Still, monitor it and call your doctor if it becomes too troublesome? Just a little reduction in swelling could make your band just right.

Don't let your anger over their careless bedside manner influence your own journey. Take charge and make it work. You're doing so well.

Stress makes my band tighter too... the last fill I got I was under a lot of stress (due to life stuff) and my band was tight for about 3 weeks, but I waited it out and stuck to liquids and mushies and now I'm just right.
