Port fix Op and IVF!!!

batkitty · July 12, 2008

Well guys it's been the ride of my life since being banded 28th March!

I started IVF the following week and was monitoring intake.

First fill was a non-event and ended up having to be done by X-Ray, only got .5 fill which wasn't enough, by the time I got back in to see my surgeon to tell him that that .5 wasn't enough he realised the port had unhooked itself! so I would have needed to go back under the knife, only problem was .... we had a positive pregnancy result! so Ultrasound was my only option for a fill. But I would wait until the next scan to make sure, and as bad luck would have it the pregnancy wasn't looking good.

So I waited for the next scan, and again not looking good so I put of the ultrasound for fill again.

Sad to say that we lost the pregnancy and I'm now booked in for the readjustment next Friday for a repair to the port and hopefully a bloody good fill.

The it's round two for IVF!

Basically at this moment in time I can eat pretty much anything I want to, just not as much, but I feel very little restriction which bothers me NO END!

So fingers crossed girls, fill and adjustment are successful, I lose a bit more weight, get back into exercise and IVF round 2 is a winner!

hopefully we are back on track!

Hi Nat,

thanks a million!

I'm pumped for my Port fix, and can't wait to get back on track.

I've kinda felt like an outsider, the band is in there but without restriction I felt for a while that I couldn't contribute to the site, like a bit of a faker!

but faker no longer

woohoo

Unless your band is made of glad wrap, you are no faker!

I am rooting for you batkitty. You should be in getting your port fixed as we speak! I hope it goes well and you recover quickly.

I am sorry your pregnancy didn't stick. I know how much you wanted it and how devastating the bad news can be. Hugs.

coffee soon? I have been so busy of late - I know you understand. When you are up and running again, lets get together.
