Landband twist?

[healthylifestyle4me 15]

I went for my 3rd fill yesterday and my surgeon couldn't do it because my lap and is twisted. Anyone here ever have that problem? He is going to do the fill next week under fluoro.

Define twisted? Do you mean rotated around your stomach or actually a twist in the band?

I'm guessing it's not an actual twist in the band or he wouldn't be planning a fill, fluoro or not.

His words were "it's twisted" and because of that he wasn't able to give me a fill. He's going to try under fluoro but he seems to think he may need to make an incision to "untwist" it.

So, it's your port that is twisted? My lapband twisted my stomach into a very unfortunate shape, causing a lot of damage and obstruction. You'd know if your stomach was twisted. The pain would be horrible. If your port is not where it should be, you might need surgery to reposition it. If your stomach is twisted, you'll want to have corrective surgery immediately.

My port had flipped some time after my surgery and when I went in for my first fill my Dr couldn't put saline in as the correct side was facing down. I had to have another surgery to correct it. It has been almost three weeks and am looking forward to my next fill. My Dr. Said it was the first time he had seen that. I think it happened when I was walking my dog on leash and she took off after something- pulling me along. My Dr thought it could have been caused from working out. Good luck to you! The port surgery was much easier!
