Hi Everyone
I have had an up and down journey with my band, I was banded in July 2009 and on going for my first fill in august my port had flipped so in sept I had to go back in and have it re-set. Things were great until sept 2010 when again my port flipped so back to surgery I went. This has happened a total of 4 times the last of which was in november last year when I had dropped from 122 kilos to 89.9 kilos. Since november I have had issue after issue and i am back up to 104 kilos
. I went in and had the port re-positioned on April 5th but when I went to have a fill it turns out I now have either a leak or the band has eroded.
I'm not sure what to do now as I am getting so depressed due to all the ongoing issues. Any advise would be greatly appreciated please.
