No I've been banded 4 months, no problems but best wishes to you. I'd say rate of fills would depend on your doc. Mine is so conservative with fills and others it seems put in several ccs at a time

I have been banded for 2 years have not had problems to date but I have had friends that have had issues, band replaced, removed and revisions. Our physicians do not fill immediately after procedures due to manipulation of the band and possible swelling. Usually liquids for 48 hours after any procedure and than 3-4 weeks later a fill. Good luck to you, I know after your revision you will be able to refocus and get back on track.

Thanks new me for your encourgement. The longer this journey goes, the more I learn about it. Now I have been told that the band cannot stay inside us forever?

Get differint information on various fronts. I was so frustrated gaining my weight back , as I was thinking of having bypass or just take it out altogether.

Came to my conclusion that my band is already there, might as well make it work again.

Hi there I was banded in 2005 and need a port revision as well. I have been scheduled for this Wed and found out today that it might be postponed. Really bummed. I am going to have plication done at the same time. I have done alot of research and I feel it is a great addition to the band.
