I paid out of my pocket for my 1st lapband surgery and I also had to pay for it when in flipped and had a leak in it. I do think I should not have to because I can not cause the leak or whole poked in it but I still had to pay for it. I guess it is just my luck that I am in the small percent who has this happen.
Mine also flipped and had a small leak in it. I had to have the port replaced 3 weeks ago. I was not awake for my surgery and did have problems with vomiting after mine. I went to get my 1st fill today and they were unable to do it because he thinks I have an infection now and I have to finish the antibotics and wait for the fluid to be tested to make sure it is ok. On a good note I did lose 9.2lbs without it even be filled. I wish you luck.
