Thaks guys for your response, the way the GI doc explained it, its simalar to an absess with a hole in it "gastric fistula" i didnt get antibiotic, he did say the band needs to come out they think the band is just to small for my stomach and thats why that happened im soooo emotionally drained I tought this was gonna be it for me if i didnt have kids I really wouldnt care and deal wth the pain just to lose the weight but I have to think of my children, I'll have to see what the surgeon says today. Thanks Guys for all your help throughout this.

Sorry about the long post, I was banded on jan 7,2010 and have had problems ever since vomiting, can sleep from the pain , cant eat many trips to the ER, and finally yesterday my LB doc had me scoped AGAIN and i have a fistula by or near the band. What the hec is that and how the heck did it develop but what i am freaking out about is when he told me the bad has to come out I just started crying and have not stopped so i didnt exactly hear what he said after that my LB doc is sapposed to call me today i do have a list of questions for him as why what and now what but i got so many good responses from all of you before i hope someone out there can help me again. has anyone had this happen? how was the issue resolved? i tried to google but just got more confused. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRICIATED!!!!!:(

Bob I too had big time doubts, HOWEVER with all the problems that I have had( dont even want to get into it) BTW (nothingwith the band itself other than it being to small for me which is fine I prob will never need a fill, according to the sergeon) I dont regret it one bit I am down 50lbs since surgery on jan 7 2010 I would do it again in a heart beat I dont care if I never get to eat again!!!
