Terryminator

Be so careful, because I had the same problems and my band had slipped! I started vomiting blood and that was how they found out. Terry in Florida

My band was removed Saturday as an emergency. Problem is that I am having problems eating anything more than Soup. I am getting a lot of pain in my stomach. Did you have that problem? Terry In Florida:help:

You are so right that the depression seems to be the hardest part of this whole thing! I had to fight with my insurance company, fight with my job for the time off for the surgery, recovery time, all the complicaitons, all of the hope for weight loss and than to have my port removed and all restriction went with it. Thank you for your kind words, they mean more than you know!:eek:

Hi Everone, My name is Terry and I was banded six months ago. I have lost about 70 pounds thus far, but had many complications after surgery. I developed seromas over my port site which had to constantly be drained. At just six months post op, my port site scar burst open and I had to have my port removed. I had a six centimeter hole into my abdomen which had to be left open and am currently wearing a wound vac to heal. Has anyone else developed this complication and can you tell me anything about how it happened to you?:help:
