I have had nothing but problems since getting the band. 2 days post op I had to get a complete unfill due to nausea. Then a few months later had to be RE OPERATED on to move the port down because it was rubbing on my ribs when i sat.

Now I have pain in the port site daily for the last 4 years.

Latest problem is most everything getting stuck and reflux. The reflux started a couple months ago.

The closest band dr is an hour away and wants me to start fresh as a patient. I just want to find someone local to UNFILL me. I am miserable

Hi I'm 6 years post op and am having similar problems. I know how you feel most things are getting stuck & I'm having to constantly vomit in order to dislodge it. The acid reflux is constant too. I'm currently awaiting an appointment to see my surgeon and that is 2.5 hours drive.
