POST-OP 2ND SURGERY PORT REVISION
Jun 17, 2007
All is going very well, I have surgery 4 days ago and I am back wot work and doing well. I am very sore at the port site and very black and blue. However, them found the hole and it went thru both sides of the tubing, so it was definitly punctured at some point in time. O-well that is over and I now have RESTRICTION, it feels great, it am now experiencing everything I expected to experience back in February!!!! I look forward to weighing in on Wednesday, because I have to have lost something!!!!!!
I have experienced the sliming and PB'ing everyone speaks of, it has not be terrible yet!!!!!
Much thanks to my husband, as he took good care of me!!!!

I AM NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
Everyone learn from me, if you think something is wrong, insist on having it checked. I have for the last 15 weeks said that I have zero restriction and that every time I get a fill, I feel the saline flush across my stomach on the inside. WELL---- after a 5 minute and the help of an x-ray machine-----WE found a HOLE in the port tubing, so off to the OR I go again within the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy they founf the probelm and I am not CRAZY, however I do not look forward to going to the OR or the recovery again!!!!
Ihave to keep laughing!!!!!! So onward and upward, hopefully this next time I will have restriction and the tool that I tried so hard to make work for the last 17 weeks, WILL WORK!!!!!!!!!!
Keep in in your thoughts!!!!!!!

My husband and daughter did a nice job this morning with birthday cards and gifts. I wish I had given myself a gift of more weight loss!!!
I have a fill appointment next Tuesday the 30th. I hope and pray that the fill goes well and I get restriction again. This restriction only lasting 1-2 days is not good!!!!!!
Good Luck to All

THIS IS WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I final have great restriction, my port access was another thing, 5 sticks before he got into the port, but, he got in and all is well. I now feel full 80% of the day. I can only eat at most 1 cup of solid food. I had an apple with peanut butter and I am STUFFED.
I have heard from other , just have patience and I am so glad I did not give up. I have hit my goal of being under 250, so now I work on being under 240!!!!!!
So Much Thanks, to my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter!!!! Your support means more than you will ever understand!!!!!
My love to all, and if you are at the point of giving up, please e-mail me as I can tell you first hand how much it will be worth sticking with!!!

I now have a feeling of fullness after I eat, however I can still eat more then the 3/4 to 1 cup of food at a sitting. I have another fill for May 4th so,I hope to make it to 3cc and call it a day. I only hope that the scale starts to move!!!! still a 0 loss for the week. I have really been trying to watch and get in my water and protein and exercising.
All is well on the home front. My husband and I have been working alot. We work at a hospital and overtime is readily avaliable, and we both love our life style, toys and vacations so we work the overtime to get everything we want extra. It just so happens that we built a new house and moved in July 2006, so there are alot of new things we want. I only thank God that he has the same work drive that I do and he pulls his share of the load. It is ever so nice to be in a relationship that is equal and I do not have to do all the work!!!!!!
Much love and thanks to my husband!!!
