Hello everyone. My name is Trent. I was banded on 6/1/2010, by Dr. Rowitz in upstate SC. He and his staff are wonderful. I have had success losing weight and have lost about 45lbs. I have had some problems though. My port incision would not heal and kept draining fluid. i had one fill of 2cc, but he had a hard time getting into the port. My next appt to get a fill my incision still was draining but looked better. We agreed to keep watching it and continued with the fill. He tried to find the port again (5 sticks and 2 needles later) I told him to keep trying) we came to the conclusion that I wasnt healing and he couldnt get in the port because it had come loose and flipped. This was on 8/5/2010 and I had revision surgery and the port moved to a new location (a few inches higher) on 8/9/2010. The surgery went well. but I am still hurting at my incisions and the bottom is draining bunches of the clear fluid. hopefully all that will quit soon.
