I got my band 6 years ago. The first year it worked ok but fills were a nightmare. About a year and a half in, it got to the point where I couldn't get fills because I would not be able to keep down my own saliva. It has not been filled since. I am thinking it needs to be removed. From the beginning, I could no longer eat healthy food. Everything gets stuck! I can eat all the junk food I want but virtually no veggies or fruit and I don't understand that. I have also had constant pain at my port site. At times, it hurts for my shirt to touch my skin where the port is. Does anyone have any advice? It's almost as if my body rejected the band. When I mentioned it to my doctor he acted like I was crazy. He is no longer practicing in my area so I have to find someone new. Has anyone experienced any problems like this?
