Port tube disconnected

[Startin'Over 0]

I was wondering if anyone out there that was self pay has had this happen. I am concerned of the cost of the surgery that it will take to fix it. I know all of the hospitals and Dr. charge differently, but I just wanted to get an idea of what I am in for.

My Dr. moved away and the only person I see now is retired from surgery and can't fix me. So now I am on my own to find a surgeon to fix this and I feel totally abandoned . I will have had my band for a year this may.

I know of two people that this has happened to and they both had the same make of band. In their case the surgeon sorted it out for them, but I also recall a rep from the company attending the second surgery.I wonder if you could have the same band! Is it maybe worth contacting the manufacturer and get some info from them.

All the best

:smile:Hi All,

We are going to have our second retreat July 18-20, here in TN at Montgomery Bell State Park. If you are interested you can go to losing2live.org and read all about it. We have reserved enough space for 75 this year, so if you are at all interested you'd better be getting in now. We had a great time last year and just wanted to get together and do it again this year. It's for anyone that's pre-op. post-op or thinking about having the surgery.

Hope to see some of you there!!

Hugs,
