  1. Port tube twisted?

    Newdays41 replied to mrshuey's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    My tubing has been trying to come through my abdomin. I had a bump in the middle of my upper abdomin saw regular doc and gastro and they kept saying "we"ll keep an eye on it". Lap band doc said he thought it was some kind of cyst under my skin. He was gonna cut it out but sent me for a CT and ultrasound then called to tell me "we'd have had a mess on our hands if I had cut into that". I can't bend back because my abdomin feels tight like something's pulling or catching. Having extreme amounts of gas and not fully emptying when having bowel movements in past two months. No throwing up, no reflux, mild pain. Doc says its the tubing. I'm freaking out a bit. Going in for surgery on Friday.
