X-Post - Why it's important to tell your doctor if something doesn't feel right!

 Lake County health Department has a lot of services. You can find them on-line too. I know there are clinics too. Ask about help for medications too.  You have quite a bit of services up there, so just do some digging. Call united Way of Lake County , they might have even more resources for you.

Don't feel so bad I had Exploratory Surgery & possible Herina repair, I had a Replacment port.up date after coming back on the site after a year, I realize I was having some of the same problems others have had, so I call my Dr last Wed 9/23/09 got appt for 9/24/09 I was in surgery Fri 9/25/09 possible herina/ exploratory & replacment of port the newer  flatter port. I didn't have a herina. allthough I had been having problems with my port area, soreiness and protuding out causing pain sometime.
Now in recovering and hope this is a new start for me, I go for a fill on the 8th of Oct and check up for m incision. wish me luck this time maybe I'll loss another 31 lbs that will put me at 62 lbs I'll be glad, like you I did tell my Dr of this problem, but it was not al the time so I over look it until the pain got worst.
