Hello my name is Joe, I had lap band Jan 2, 06, sept 15 had new lap band, first one broke came apart, did not slip. has anyone have this to happen?

Where did it break? Did the tubing come apart from the port?

Did the tubing come apart from the port?

NO, it came un hooked.

How did you know it was broken? Did you have pain?

wow did they fix it for free?

Wow, I have never heard of the band itself literally breaking. I also would like to know if you experienced any pain or anything to give you an indication that there was a problem.

I was having chest pains. When to the hart doc in June every thing was fine.Did an upper GI Sept.5. Ins. paid for the reband.
