Good news is that about a week before I went on holidays, the infection cleared up and the wound closed up. Since then I haven’t had any problems regarding the infection.
Since the first night I got out of hospital the second time around after the 4 days of IV anti biotics, I’ve been getting pains after eating (not every meal, but majority). I need to have tests, but I’m 99% certain that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which has been linked to long periods of anti biotic or steroid use. Also the fact bowel disease and IBS runs in my family, means that I had a higher chance than most of getting it. Obviously I’m not 100% sure yet, but the symptoms are there, the area of pain is the same as my Mum’s (she’s had Crohn’s coupled with IBS for 30-40 years now so as soon as I pointed where the pain is she’s like “oh no….that’s the what-you-ma-call-it where I get my pain!”.
Anyway, that aside, I went for my first test/checkup/(fill) this morning, and although it would take a while for erosion of the band to happen (I thought this morning was going to be a ‘either it works or it doesn’t’ moment) this morning went well and I got 7ml out of 12ml put in. I have the gargle sound back lol.
Haven’t tried a meal yet, but water and coffee is going down OK, after the gurgle that is… so the next test is solids. Wish me luck anyway :) GOOD LUCK!!!!
