I'm 7 years post-banding and need recommendations for a surgeon who can work on my tubing. I went in for an unfill a couple months ago, due to severe acid reflux and some other problems. The Dr. was using flouro, and the needle was definitely in the port, but nothing would come out. She said the tubing is twisted or something else is keeping the Fluid from coming out. The band definitely does have fluid in it, and is fairly tight. My surgery was initially done in Mexico, but I would prefer to have the repairs done in Texas. (I'm just north of Houston, in The Woodlands) I need to know if there is a surgeon who will work with patients who were banded somewhere else. Any suggestions?
