I am really bummed. have had the band for a year and just found out today i have a hole somewhere. they said it is just something that happens, but i got to thinking. the person who usually does my fill always, always has trouble getting into my port because it is in crooked. is it possible that the tube was poked with the needle?

i havn't talk to my surgeon yet. i am going back to do testing to find out where it is... they found out becuase i was suppose to have over 9 cc in my band and i went in becuase i had NO restriction. while giving me the fill and pulling out the saline there was only 4cc in the band...

My Dr. pulls every cc out of the port and puts it right back in plus some. I figured every Dr did this. I'm sorry that this happened to you. Do they just replace the tube and Port?

How are they going to fix this? My doctor takes all the old fill out, measures it and puts it back in.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
