Found port, fianlly filled!



Recommended Posts

I haven't been on since my appointment last Thursday, but after sedating me and doing a Fluro they found out my port got pushed up and flipped. So he during that he put me to sleep, fixed and filled it! I am so happy we got it all fixed, I've lost 12 pounds since last surgery and I feel great! My port is much more noticable because he moved it up and put some mesh around it so it will stay in place. We are pretty sure it happend from me working because I doo a lot of bending over counters and reaching and bending, so I am on light duty for a month, but that's ok because I don't want to go through that again. I am so excited for my follow up with him this coming Friday. I think I might need it filled just a lil more, but I will discuss that with him then. Thanks to everyone who commented and gave me suggestions on my post about not being able to find my port, it helps knowing tat some people have the same issues. I hope know everything goes good from here on out and I can be on here more. I really love this website, it helps so much. Hope everyone has a great Sunday! :)

mochic I am so glad they got you taken care of...my port is in my chest...and it would be easy to tell if its flipped, but apparently my doctor sews it into place...that is why it was so uncomfortable and is at times now that is where I have lost most of my weight. I am glad u are now on ur way...keep me informed...love to hear about your journey.

      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?
