i had to have my port hole re positioned in april 2012. surgeon put it really deep. when i had my next fill i was left in a lot of pain and hospitalised. 2 mls of green fluid was extracted from a cavity around my port hole. then 1ml was removed from my band.....instant relief. for a couple of days. 4 weeks later had another fill to take me up to 5.25mls. no restriction but the pain came back. 4 weeks later and taking pain releif nurse removed 3.5mls of yellow fluid from my band, she really struggled to get it out.....were is the rest of the fluid.......now i have really bad pain when i eat anything solid. has anyone else had this sort of problem. do you think my band is infected and should i have it removed........feel sick with worry never ever had pain eating before... had band since march 2010.

Hi all I saw nhs surgeon on 5th dec. He kistened to me and my band was removed on monday 10th dec. I am over the moon that its out of me. Thanksfor all your advice The surgeon suspects that i had a deep seeded infection in the band. It has been sent to lab to be tested. Kath x
