  1. I was also back to working out in two weeks the post op was shorter than the lap band surgery
  2. Hi, This also happened to me on my second filled. I had to have surgery to get it reflipped. I was in surgery less than an hour and home the next day . This is not the ideal situation but rest assure its fixable. I had my port reflipped the week of Xmas and I have been fine since then. I hope this helps
  3. So, I had surgery yesterday to have my port flipped back that right way and then the took .75 cc's out. Right now I am resting. In a lot of pain but thankful my issues have been resolved.
  4. Update my band is ok. I need an unfill cuz nothing is flowing through my band. Now they are trying to find someone who can find my port opening, which is always a challenge. My stomach is bruise and sore from being poked so much.
  5. I was admitted into the hospital and they will be checking to see if my band slipped and if I need surgery. After vomiting all night, I am finally starting to feel some relief.
  6. Going to hospital as we speak
