  1. Hi there, I'm back with my story. Well I had the lap band April 2 of this year, that band was too tight the barium would not pass. So therefore I had it removed and on the 4 th of April had a larger band placed. The barium passed and I was released only for 6 weeks later today may 18, I go for my 1st fill to learn that my port has turned a 180 degree turn. Now I either have to have surgery to reposition the port or maybe even have the entire band replaced . I am soo disappointed but as my dermatologist once told me "beauty is pain"
  2. Ok family I'm officially through with the second surgery I had to have the one they put in on monday taken out. It was to small and had slipped. Yesterday they put in a larger one. Now I'm in more pain than ever, they went through the same incisions. Hopefully this works if not they will have to take it out and I would not be a lap band success
