Sorry to hear about band problems, I was banded in 2001. went from 296 to 169 in about 18 months. I've had one port replacement prox. 2 years back. Today Doc said possible erosion. I have pain and redness, indicating Infection at port location. Doc said possible erosion caused infection and it traveled from the band to the port along the tube. 4 months ago deflated band for hernia surgery, haven't refilled since. put on about 35 lbs.in 2 months. Starting anti biotic today for infection. very concerned about my future.
I've never written anything on the internet... Somewhat a skeptic that I'll hear anything back. It does help just to write everything down. sort of a release I guess. I do have a very loving wife that extreemly supportive.
