My husbands port is coming OUT of his incision! **added pictures**
So he is being scheduled for a port revision ASAP. I hope they don't make him wait more then a day or two. He has been in so much pain the past 2 days. This totally sucks in a major way considering it is more time off of work and main source of income is his job! Wonderful.... hopefully the next one will go smoothly and heal properly!
How painful is a port revision?

I have no idea how painful that will be, but I wish you both a smooth revision, happy healing and hopefully back to work in no time.

What a yucky way to start his journey! Well wishes are sent his way!!! (And I have no clue about the pain of a port revision. Thankfully, I've not had any problems thus far.)

LapBanded February 18, 2008; 3 slips and nearly a death later, had band removal then a revision to VSG on May 12, 2014; best decision ever!!!
First, I am sooo sorry! But good news is that I have read about Bandsters who have gotten a port revision and gone on vacation the next day, so I think it is a really "simple" procedure, they should be able to get him right in and get it done. Give him our well wishes!

He is having his revision not until FRIDAY at noon. He isn't very happy about that. He was in so much pain last night that he took the loratab from his surgery 2 months ago to go to bed. They told him to just keep it covered until Friday.
I hope it goes smooth. He was leery about getting the surgery to begin with because he has never had any kind of surgery or medical issue in his entire life... and i mean NOTHING. So I know he isn't going to be too happy about the whole thing.

And I don't think it is the surgeons fault. I also had her do mine in May and haven't had any problems. She thinks that his incision got an infection early on which is why it would not heal to begin with. His incision closed ONE time with a thin scab and bust open the very next day. I don't think it is from anything she did or did not do. He will not be switching surgeons. She has been great and has a great reputation around here as well.
Thanks for all the kind words, I will keep you posted on how it goes and let you know when I get pictures of it posted. I know it can be hard to believe.. but it is true.
