My LAP-BAND® Experience "This isn't over until the Skinny lady sings"

Well I finally got all my test results back from the gyno. And they want me to take some pills to help me have a period. Then after a few times of that then I will take the ultra sound again so see how that works. They didnt or couldnt give me surgery because of my port infection hole. Well with my wound, it is about less then a inch. Also I got the approval from my ins. company for the band replacement. So the Nurse from my Dr. office called and we are looking at surgery on 8/31...

Hello, Today I have good hopes. I got a letter from my Ins. Co. saying they approve me for getting my LAP-BAND® replaced. Now I just need this hole to heal. Once it does I am in! I just hope everything is okay with my band. I would hate to wake up without a band. I also went to my Gyno. this week and I might have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I went and had an ultrasound test done and I will find out Aug. 2 (Wed) the results. I hope everything will be okay. I seem to say that a lot. ...

Well today I still sit with a hole in my tummy, having to pack it everyday gets so fustrating. But I know that I am not the only one who has gone through this. I want to say everything is going good, well I guess I can say it is, because it sure isnt getting worse. I guess that is a blessing. I pray for the day this will all end and I will be normal again. I want to be able to take a shower for more the 5 min. To be able to let the warm water slapsh over my tummy without plastic all over. Sorry...

Oh boy it has been so long since I have wrote in here. Well it is about time I catch up. Well my hole is about healed up, It is still about 1in deep. Which to me is a lot (since its my own tummy i guess) But coming from 6in deep 3in wide hole gots to be so much better. I go and see my wound Dr. on Thursday July 13th I think will be proud of my healing prosses. I have not heard from my Band Dr. or the Nurse, maybe they forgot about me who knows. Maybe the hope I forgot about...

 I am going crazy! I still have a lot of pus coming out my wound, I really thought I was getting better. Maybe I still am getting better but with the wound pussing like it is, I am sure it slows down the healing time. But I really dont know. I go in to the Wound Specialist on Thursday so maybe she will see if there is anything that I should be doing diffrently. All this scares me, because I need to get a job. I am worried about being around 100 or more people in the same...
