Band Rejection - Answer to Port Problems

[Iluvharleys 15]

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
