Port Revision and First Fill....

[savannahsmommie 0]

I went in for surgery this morning because my port had turned upside down. I switched to a new surgeon, because my previous (original) surgeon was not very good. The new surgeon said that it looked as if the 1st doc has attempted sewing the port to my ab muscles but only one 1 side. So he reattached it to the ab muscle and then sewed my back up. To my surprise he also did my first fill. He gave me 6ccs. He said he always starts off at six when the band holds 14ccs. He also said he did not understand why I was given a 14cc band because the Standard AP Band that holds 10cc would have been perfect for me. Oh well, can't change that now.

The surgery went great, only I am more in more pain that I was when I got the original lap band done a month a half ago. My incision is a bit bigger. but he did it over the previous incision.

I hope this 6ccs gets me over my platue and back to losing weight.

Anyone else have this happen?

I am very glad they got you all fixed up. This just sounds like a very unpleasant thing to experience. I wanted to ask you which surgeon you ended up going with. You and I both posted on a thread asking about Dr. Coon a little while back but the thread never received any further response from anybody. I am still researching for my doc and would be interested in your decision. Thanks and I hope you heal up quickly!
