  1. Hi Socalgal3,

     

    I was banded by Dr. Ortiz 14 months ago. I recently have been ill and have had to several tests done. One of the tests was a EGD scope and at that time (last week) my GI dr. told me if looked like my band was up too high and maybe slipped but he was not sure. I have had no problems other than NO restriction at all and he even said when he did the scope I was not restricted. My question is, if it was slipped would I not have problems? I also since last week have had a lot of pain at my port site. I had bowel problems and was straining a lot. I thought it was just soreness from being ill now I am not too sure because it hurts so much. Would you know what this could be?

     

    I was self pay and do not think I could afford to go back and have another surgery so this is stressing me greatly. Does it cost the same to have a reposition of the band? Do you know what is involved to have a port repositioned if that is the issue with the port? Would it cost just as much as the surgery?

     

    I know there is so many questions. I have seen you on this site quite a bit and thought maybe you could help me.

     

    Thanks for any input you may have.
