Hey! I'm new to the sight but not new to lapband, I was banded in 2004. Dr. Robert Powell was my surgeon and Dr. fred maese did my fills. My 1st year I was pretty happy with my procedure. I had pain in my port site but was continually told that was normal. In 2008 I went to get a fill and port had flipped, no ins.. could not find surgeon to help me. Finally last wednesday my port was revised and even though I had surgery the pain is nothing compared to what I had been having. Dr. wade Barker took me as a patient and I'm very optimistic. This past year while trying to find a surgeon I have put back half of my weight. But now know I'm in good hands and will be back on my way to getting my weight off again.
