Can't wait for my 1st fill Monday!

[citygirlnks 0]

I was banded 7/31/07 (I just barely made it into the July 07 Bandsters group!). I am having my first fill this upcoming Monday. I can't wait because I have noticed that I can eat a little more as each day passes.

The thing that is a total bummer is that my port incision is still healing! Yep, it's been almost 6 weeks and half of the incision is still slowly trying to heal. I have called the dr's office over the past several weeks asking about it and the nurse has been telling me that it's normal and I shouldn't worry. She said it's due to a "spitting stitch"...I've never heard of that before but I looked it up online and I guess it's common.

Over the Labor day weekend my scab fell off by accident and I freaked out by the sight of a open wound. It looked like a fish's mouth...gross. So anyway, I called again over the holiday weekend because I was worried about it and the nurse on call said to not worry...again. Today, the nurse talked to my doctor and he said although he was pretty sure there isn't an infection he's having me take some antibiotics just in case.

So, I'm hoping with the antibiotics the incision will heal up by the time Monday comes around. Otherwise, I guess the doctor will be able to look at it when he gives me my fill.

Is anyone else healing? My other incisions healed up within a week or two so I was curious how everyone else is doing.
