My story is long and wrought with complications.  I was banded in 2001 and all was well.  I felt great.  I even went home that night (while others weren't able to walk, I was up and movin)I ended up getting an seroma, in fact a series of seromas.  My port was ultimately removed.  After a healing time, it was replaced on the other side.Since then, I have lost my health insurance and was not religious about fills.  I have to go through Flouro to get a fill done because of the port placement, so it is vrey expensive to get it done.  I have gained back almost all of the weight.  I am now recommitted to losing the weightand once my insurance is in place, I will be able to move forward.
