  1. Can you give me some advice. I have all the same symtoms that everyone has written about. The lapband has been in a year and a half and I've had 6 adjustments. There has not been an adjustment since April 08. In Aug 08 I started feeling pain at the area around the port, went to the dr, he has since lanced it 4x. this last time the infection has been the worst. During my 3rd infection I was scheduled for surgery to have the port moved to another spot when they found from taking so many antibiotics my blood platelet count was way too low. I've been struggling ever since and am now scheduled for this surgery in jan. what I'm afraid of is if he replaces my port, puts it in another location how do I know that infectious material is not in the rest of the lapband system. How do I know when I get an adjustment if this is not going to start all over again. I never felt right after my 1st adjustment after the 1st 6-wks it was put in. 1JITSU1
