  1. Hi everyone I need some advise please... I had my band in 2009 and it goes well for 12-18 months then my port flips over and has to be reset. The last time this happened was in november and due to issues with me insurance i wasnt able to get it fixed until 5 weeks ago. since then my band has been leaking so looks like another hospital visit. I had lost 70 lbs but have put 30 back in since my issues started in November has anyone else had any issues like this???
  2. Hi Everyone I have had an up and down journey with my band, I was banded in July 2009 and on going for my first fill in august my port had flipped so in sept I had to go back in and have it re-set. Things were great until sept 2010 when again my port flipped so back to surgery I went. This has happened a total of 4 times the last of which was in november last year when I had dropped from 122 kilos to 89.9 kilos. Since november I have had issue after issue and i am back up to 104 kilos . I went in and had the port re-positioned on April 5th but when I went to have a fill it turns out I now have either a leak or the band has eroded. I'm not sure what to do now as I am getting so depressed due to all the ongoing issues. Any advise would be greatly appreciated please. Donna
