was banded in 2012 never used it because port turned over..in 2015 band portal was supposedly fixed after going into hospital with extreme nausea and stomach discomfort..It is 2018 and went back to surgeon to find out if this band was the cause of my severe nausea...found out it flipped again..I never used this and think I have damage to VAGUS nerve GASTROPARESIS... WANT THIS REMOVED BUT AFRAID IT WILL DO MORE DAMAGE

i was banded july 5 2012..went twice for a fill...no luck..the port flipped. dr couln't unflip manually...so i have 2 options 1) have a mini op to unflip ,,or,....go to plastic surgeon have the belly fat lap flap removed and my lap dr can at the same time fix the port..i am 73 years old..i started at 297 and i am now 256...i guess i lost all this weight on my own!!!!! if i take 2nd option i have to pay for it...i am confused..i guess i will leave this up to the Lord..

sorry i didn't get to read prior post. i can just imagine how you feel. my port flipped..i go this saturday to see if he can manually fix it..i am so disappointed...had surgery on July 5 and no fills..Keeping you in my prayers..i know you'll do fine

why do you think it slipped? do you have any idea?

i am going next saturday to try and find my port again..i gained a pound and feel so discouraged..please keep me in your prayers as i pray for all the bandsters..

went for my first fill last week and dr said my port flipped from sleeping on my side. will attempt to fix it on sept 22 2012..had lb surgery july 5 2012..very discouraged
