I've had my band for 10 years and for the last 7 years I have been living with the exact pain you describe. I have had 4 UGI's and EGD and colonoscopy and just recently had surgery to remove scar tissue from around the port. None of these things revealed any problems with the band or port or offered any possible reason for the pain. I have just been told today that the only way they can come up with to get rid of the pain is to remove the band. My insurance won't cover a conversion since my BMI is 25. I'm very interested to know how your journey goes or if anyone else has advice for me.
