Hello All
I am hoping some of you will be able to help me . I was banded august 2010 and ever since i woke up from the op i have had severe pain not only from the port which i seem to have everyday but on the other side as well. i am so fed up with pain pain pain. If i take pain killers i am so constipated that it takes a week and lots of laxatives to get anything through. Has anyone else had this roblem i have written to my surgeon to ask for it to be removed but he just wanted some tests done which i have done and self paid for to get some answers. My husband wants me to get it our and have my life back. What do i do. I feel i should never have had it done i should have just stopped eatin all the crap.
Help Please
