I went in for my first fill last Wednesday (5-23) and since then I've gradually had more and more pain in the muscles around my port. This morning I woke up in bad pain in this area, and anytime I move, the muscles cramp up horribly and I can't move.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm really worried...

Please call Dr. Horgan ASAP if you haven't already done so. Let us know what he says.

I asked that Michele Barjon lady about it last week when I was in for my fill, and she completely brushed it off. The pain wasn't as bad then. Today I called MIBC (I also had to make an apt for a new fill since the first didn't do the trick) and the nurse brushed me off as well, saying she really had no clue about the pain. I have an appointment tomorrow so hopefully everything will be okay until then!

I sure hope so. I'm sorry to hear that the nurses brushed off your problem. Maybe you should mention that to Dr. Horgan when you see him for your appointment. He needs to know how his staff is responding to patients' concerns. Good luck!

Arrrg... So I just called Dr. Horgans cell and he brushed it off and told me just to come in tomorrow. He seemed sort of irritated that I called his cell...but It really hurts =(

I'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow....

Hmmm... you're doing all the right things. It's not like you called Dr. H during the middle of the night, so he had no reason to be rude. Let's see how he responds tomorrow. With luck, your pain will have already vanished.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
