I just had my second surgery today die to complications with my band tubing. It came disconnected from the port! Could use some words of encouragement! :/

That's too bad, but it is a very fixable problem. I'm sure it will be fine now that it's fixed. I've heard of people needing the entire band replaced because of a leak or other defect. I hope you heal quickly and are back on track soon!

Wow! I hate to hear that but am glad you were able to have another surgery to fix the problem. Just remember all that you have learned and you will be fine. Take it easy and follow your doctor's orders. Good luck.

Good Evening,

Just remember to take it easy and listen to doctors orders...i remember walking around helped me a lot. These darn foreign things in our bodies, why can't they just behave! Glad it well though. Ok, I don't mean to make you feel "bad" but when I was reading your post you put "die to complications" I just about fell off my chair. Once I read the whole thing then I seen you meant "due to complications". Again, I am always making spelling errors and I am not trying to point it out to everyone, but when you see "die" in a surgery forum it catches your attention. Glad it was just due!!!! Have a good night and glad you are ok!!!!!!:):

I was banded Oct15,2012 and had to have another surgery Jan 23 b/c of my port flipping. Surgery much easier then initial banding and no more problems. Dr told me it was very rare to have a port flip, that leaking tubes were more common.

Keeping fingers crossed and prayers said.lol

Best of luck to you

Buahaha! Dye not die. Although if it were "die" I'd be the books for posting on forums! ;)
