I just had surgery to repair my lapband. It was suppose to be simple. I a cat scan first to look at things and the disicion was made to reconnect the tube to the band, or replace the port. My surgeon moved the port which had no hole, then filled it . The fluid squished out of the band so he just closed me up.This wasy original surgeon. My insurance was covering 1 surgery per lifetime. That's what I got. Nothing but broken parts in me. Advise read the fine print . Malle sure your surgeon will fix whatever is broke. Was a self pay the first time , so I have lost over 20,000.00 and am very depressed.
