Well girls, I have to have port revision surgery. I saw Dr. Bagnato today and he placed my port in entirely the wrong spot. The way i was laying on the table flat made my breasts fall back and on my chest and he thought he was placing it higher than he was. I go back on feb. 4th to make sure all signs of infection/redness are gone and then if all is well I will have my port removed and repositioed on february 8th. Dr. Bagnato is not charging me and he says he will give me a fill at the same time he does the port revision. I won't lie and say I'm not IMMENSELY upset, but its just one of those things that I've got to do. My port is currently in my actual breast and he thinks it will cause problems with filling if we don't do the revision. I could wait and see come fill time, but I'm not happy with a port in my breast either, so despite the fact that I really really really don't want to have surgery again, I must. I am glad he is going to give me a fill because I have zero swelling anymore and can eat normal foods if I let myself. I'm still in shock. I called Terri crying after I left because I'm just so shocked that this has happened to me. Lord help me stay positive and not let this get me down.

I'm terribly sorry that you're going thru this. I know it must feel awful, but the good thing is it was found early enough to avoid any future complications. I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Please don't be too discouraged by all of this, you've come so far and you've done a wonderful thing to improve your health. Things sometimes just happen. I wish you all the best.

Hey everyone! This month's support group meeting has been cancelled. Due to unexpected circumstances, many were not able to attend. We will definitely reschedule it and I will post the new time and date at a later time. Thanks for all your cooperation.

Hi Pam.
Can you tell us how much weight you have lost in a year? I had mine done in October and I have lost right at 55 pounds. I am at a stand still as I am not dieting like I should. I am still happy with the weight I have lost.

I have lost about 45 since last May. Today is my one year anniversary. I could have done better but I have not walked like and should have. Hopefully, I will get more inspiration from this site.
