Hello,

My name is Tina, I am 31 yrs old. I work full time as an Office Manager on top of being a full time wife & mother of a 3 yr old little girl.

I was banded March 26, 2002 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

I have had two fills and am in desperate need of a third but my port has flipped and I need to have it replaced. So my weight loss has been stalled way too long.

At one point I actually lost over 50 lbs, then I have gain about 5 of that back. Which is not bad, considering I was eating basically anything I wanted. Without the band I would have gained it all back and them some!!!

I love my band! :banana

I am a faithful lurker & occasional poster from Spotlight and I'm happy to see so many from the family!

Take care,

Tina

Taking a break from the scale, it only upsets me

Hi Tina,

Congrats on the weight loss so far! I hope you can get your port taken care of soon and get the fill.

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Hi Tina,

Great to see you on new turf.

I am really impressed that you have kept your 45lbs off without restriction...YOU GO GIRL!

You will be as good as gold and losing again soon!

Hi Tina,

I was wondering, how do they fix a flipped port? Will they make another incision and then fix it?

Hey thanks everyone for all your replies!

Lisa-Thanks, I hope to get it fixed in the next couple of months!

Wednesday- I'm so happy you to see you over here! Have not seen much of you at Spotlight these days, you must be out enjoying that Florida sunshine!!!

Leo- Yes, they have to make another incinsion to turn it around. I swear though last night I could feel the front part of the port. So I may go back in and try the fill again. My doc said it swims around like a fish, so it is possible that it's flipped over again on it's own. That would be great!!

Have a nice day!

Tina
