Band Rejection - Answer to Port Problems



Recommended Posts

Lisa - I eat those no sugar added fudge bars once in a while. They are good and not that many calories. It makes me feel like I am eating something good! lol

Put your ticker back up, I thought that looked great! Just don't put up a food one, they make me hungry! :cool:

There ya go, Betty. I think the world would benefit if all women posted a hormonal cycle! I should put that ticker up on the inside of hubby's toolbox. Warning, PMS alert, warning!

Hi everyone, I think it's bad news... I think the new port is already showing signs of rejection. The wound is leaking a lot, and I feel a tad of an itch. Today is the first day I actually feel the port. I think I'll pay a local guy to fill me up till I can't breathe.

Melissa, has your doctor discussed "rejection" with you? My surgeon told me the Band doesn't want to be in my body - a small percentage of us will reject the band, and I happen to be one of them.

It's a viscious circle because I eat when I'm stressed, and the stress of this rejection is making me eat. I've gained back 4 pounds in a week. I can't even feel the fill I got two weeks ago, actually, I feel less restriction. I still have restriction during the day, but last night I ate so much ice cream and dumped chocolate sauce all over it, then topped it off with 2 tacos right at bedtime. Today I'm meeting the Vegas Bandsters for the first time (small group, but I need all the support I can get) and maybe tonight I'll start going to OA meetings again.

Frustrating, yep, but such is life. Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement, but I don't think my prognosis is good at this point.

Hi Darla, would you mind telling me more of your s/s of rejection?? (like pain and where it is, etc..) I'm having some issues and am have been searching for possibilites. thanks shirley

      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.
