You will be suprised at how much pain that lil tube will cause! I was. I just pray for you that it only happens once, this will be the only time you will have to deal with it. Yes, please keep me posted, and good luck wed

your very nice, and im glad i could help. thats the only reason I posted what I did. I was in so much pain and got shuffled from doc, to doc, and i knew the whole time it my tubing. Just wanted to be able to help someone else if i could! So im glad i did

I had unbeliveable pain that keept moving around my whole abd. From the very bottom of my belly to the top and sides That lil tube can put you in a great deal of pain! it was a stabbing/pressure type mostly. After my last repair, i havent had any pain and it feels wonderful. Best wishes for you.

your very welcome, im glad i could help. i know how much pain i was in, and not knowing what was going on, being shuffled from doc to doc, lol. And one more thing, he put 3ml back in my band and I felt so much restriction, I thought something was wrong. But come to find out, I never held anything in my band from the beginning, so its actually doing what its supposed to Wishing you the best...

yes, i have the realize band, and its had to be fixed twice

yes and yes. iv had a time with this band. my surgen wanted me to take it out and transfer to a sleeve, but I didn't want the sleeve. If it comes apart for the third time, its just comming out!!!! If I was you, I would also have him to put 2 or 3 ml of saline in the band while he in there, because you will be very sore for a while and will be unable to t=get a fill fpr a while. best of luck to ya..

yes, realize band! sorry this happen to you. Be sure ur surgen puts the tube on the port as tight as it will go, or this will just happen again, like it happen to me. i had mine fixed for the 2nd time 2 1/2 weeks ago and so far so good! good luck to you!!!

I could never tell a diff after having my fills, so it makes me wonder how long the tube was undone before i started feeling the pain! SO I cant answer your question, sorry.

I would say your tube came undone from the port like mine hope you enjoy ur weekend, sorry about ur pain. your doc will order a panel of abd x rays to confirm whats going on. Good luck, keep us posted.

thanks so much

My port did move around alot before my last surgery to fix the tube. He must have seen that it was to, because he moved it and attached it GOOD that time, so good, that I was sore for 6 weeks just at the port site, it was crazy. We go into this surgery (having the band) knowing the risks, but you dont know about the little things that happen. Thats why this is a good site, so ppl can read our crazy stories, lol. I go on the 22nd to have my 2nd repair. He will only put in a new band if the tubing is "broke" off. otherwise, hes just going to re-attach the tube to the port again, pushing it in further this time? If it happens again, im taking it out, a person can only handle so much. Shedding the weight can be so hard, so I dont regret having the band done, I just wish it would stay in place, lol

Thank you for your well wishes, and I also wish you the best. My surgen is great, known nation wide. Its not our fault, its the band I hope to get this fixed amd soon, let us know how you do ok Best of LUCK!!

He wants to go in again and if the tube has broke off, a whole new band, if it jjust came apart again, then reattach it again im ready to have it out, but i have much more weight to lose
