Would you mind telling me what kind of test they did to diagnose this? My Dr tells me that they can't do any kind of test on your band or port without doing surgery to find the problem. I've heard different from other friends. Just wondering. I've also heard that they can check your port by ultrasound.

Please don't beat yourself up over it. Sounds like we are kinda in the same boat. I lost 17 pounds my first week and that was the end of it and now I am 2 yrs post op. I did do everything that I was suppose to. I even got so aggravated that I got so tight, on purpose, that I could only drink good liquids thinking it would help me lose, nope, didn't work. I did get pregnant in Oct. 2010 so now there's not much I can do but wait till after the baby is born and get retightened but honestly, I'm miserable, emotionally and physically. I just can't get over how some people are dropping the weight when I do eat my Protein, I do drink my Protein drinks that are allowed, I do stay away from all t he 'bad' things. I mean I don't get it either. Hang in there though. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel, for us both, I hope!

May I ask what your symptoms are and how it was diagnosed? I'm having some problems and I'm in the process of looking for another Dr. What all tests did they do to diagnose this? I pray you find a Dr soon to take care of this situation! This is important!

Don't feel bad for getting it all taken out. My best friend left in just 2cc's and it just about killed her. She refused to have those little cc's taken out and when it was getting closer to the end, she was in bad bad bad shape. She didn't gain a lot but just had a lot of complications. Everyone is different though, just remember it COULD have been bad
