Just checking to see if anyone has had their band taken out? I am thinking about it. I have had my band for 6 years and it seems to always be sore around the port. I was diagnosed with nutcracker syndrome and it maybe due to the pressure from the lap band.:smile: Is there a support group in Portland? I am head down to Dr Ortiz soon.

I am looking for a band support group in Portland Oregon or Vancouver Wa. Banded in 02 by Dr Ortiz in TJ Mexico. I have been a nurse for over 25 years and would not go to anyone else in the world. He is the best along with Dr Martinez and his whole crew.
