i had to have my port hole re positioned in april 2012.

surgeon put it really deep. when i had my next fill i was left in a lot of pain and hospitalised.

2 mls of green fluid was extracted from a cavity around my port hole. then 1ml was removed from my band.....instant relief. for a couple of days.

4 weeks later had another fill to take me up to 5.25mls. no restriction but the pain came back.

4 weeks later and taking pain releif nurse removed 3.5mls of yellow fluid from my band, she really struggled to get it out.....were is the rest of the fluid.......now i have really bad pain when i eat anything solid.

has anyone else had this sort of problem.

do you think my band is infected and should i have it removed........feel sick with worry

never ever had pain eating before...

had band since march 2010.

Demand to see the doctor!

Junior Doc gave me 2 lots of antibiotics and I am due to see consultant at NHS on 5th Dec.

But pain eating solids ...........

Don't know if I can wait ........

Call their after hours service and have the doctor call you back! Tell him you can't wait another week for a consult... They should get you in, if not, go to the ER. Best wishes!

Please go to the ER.

^{this doesn't sound good and they should have had u seem a doctor right away what kind of service u getting here.}

call dr now!!!!!

Im a RN..DO NOT wait until the 5th. If u cant get in any sooner then go to the ER. It sounds like your falling thru the cracks..Your surgeon probably hasnt even been told about ur issues.

thanks for or your advice.

i am booked in to see surgeon monday.

Hi, are you feeling better now that it's out?

Hi-I was banded may 31, 2012 and had little problems except for the first fill.They couldnt find the port in the office so had to do fluoro scope.

That was ok but now have a ***** growth in my navel. Went to dr today and may have an eroded band so another fluorscope scheduled. I think the band will have to come out so we will see. Any info from others?
