Port Revision

[travelinsnorkel 0]

To make a long story short, I had my band put in October 13, 2008. My first two fills were okay, but then it became increasingly hard for the doc to find my port. We then started doing fills under xray. I never really had full restriction at any point. Then, it got to the point where he was struggling to access the port even under xray and the surgeon stated that my port had flipped. I had had no pain or anything to indicate that this had happened. I asked my doc what the cause could have been. He said he couldn't know for sure. I had been given the green light for Pilates, but I think that this might have been the cause as there is a lot of abdominal work during it. Mid July I had my port re-attached. It was an easy surgery, just minimal localized pain for a few days, then back to work in 2 days. I saw the surgeon a few days ago and he said that I'm okay to get back to working out and that I can get a fill in 2 weeks. I can't wait to get this thing working properly! I want some restriction so all of this will have been worth it!

So glad that things worked out! I would have freaked out a little! I felt the same way about my band but hit my sweet spot in April this year. It is really worth it.

I'm glad to hear you're back on track. I hope you're first fill goes well.
