  1. Port and tubing replaced

    mfit replied to mnjhowell's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I had my port replaced and it is taking forever to get back. The fill lasts about 2 weeks. The Dr said I have to allow a "shoulder" to form again and can only have bout 1/10th cc fill at a time so as not to cause erosion!! Yikes has anyone else gone thru this!

  2. My port tilted...

    mfit replied to TattooBeauty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Mine tilted. The Dr said a stitch came loose! But be careful mine started rubbing while traveling n wearing tight pants n caused irritation resulting in infection and ultimately port removal!

  3. Pain in stomach after port removal?

    mfit replied to Devotedlillly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I had my port removed because of infection. Immediately after I started having pain in my abdomin, particularly on the left side. Long story short when I had port replaced I was also having an exploratory due to the pain. The nurse said to me I kno what's wrong!! The tube came uncoiled and is poking you!! He was right!! After it was reconnected I had no further pain!
