Port incision and fills



Recommended Posts

Hey I had my band in dec 2013 and have lost 2 1-2 stone since. I've been for fill and had saline injected In the incision of where the port is.. However last fill it was injected at another place. Since then I have felt my belly n feel my port as moved from where it was.. Can that happen and if so is it normal??

My understanding is that it is sutured in place. Odd that two different areas were filled if I understand you correctly. Fluoroscopy fill might be a good option?

The fill is performed while it and you are having an X-ray .

Sorry to hear you are feeling un well. With your symptoms, it may be a good idea to visit your primary or general practitioner, it's not something I have seen anyone else complain of in conjunction with their band. Monday is almost here!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
