The previous doctor used a less expensive needle for fills. When it would hit the back of the port it would curl then making it like a crochet needle. It would damage the port when removed. The only way I would loose weight was when it was filled so tight that I couldn't eat or drinking anything. Had severe heartburn.
Hi Kelly and kpardisek. I was scared also so that's why I did lapband. Was going to do the sleeve for the revision but the dietician I was working with talked to me about gbp. Boy am I glad we talked, best decision.
