Yes he should...I was stuck between 40 and 50 times Friday. In the office and then under Flouro....I have had 4 surgeries to replace ports and tubing...I know that the Dr. had to stick the tubing...How could he no? They are scheduling another surgery now...I told him that my husband lost his job and my insurance was only good for two days...He acted like..no problem...this was just maintance...no charge...We will see unh?

I can so relate to you....I have had everything happen that can and yesterday I was told that my port flipped again! In three years I have had 4 surgeries.....I am not a candidate for Roux n Y and am terrified to gain back 100 pounds...I understand how your feeling, do we leave the thing inside and find out we have some wierd infection from that in the future? They are scheduling my surgery now and my family and friends think I'm nuts!

I was banded 3 years ago. After 6 months my port was flipped and I had it replaced. At my 6 week check it was leaking. I went right back in to surgery. Every appointment I have been through 30 to 40 sticks. I have not gone back for 18 months. Well I went yesterday, Dr. attempted at least 30 times in the office then under flouroscope. He gave up and said it needs to be replaced again. I really have not heard of anyone having this many problems. They are scheduling my 4th surgery. I have lost 100 pounds, recently gained 7. I am fearful to not have the band and I'm not a candidate for Roux n Y. My family thinks I'm crazy to consider this,,,Has anyone experienced anything close?
