jack,

Sorry for the uneasiness you must be feeling due to the unknown, but I haven't heard that one before. Defective port? If so, doesn't seem to be a biggie to replace ports because my doctor told me I may need a less intrusive port, as mine is very prominant since I lost 50 lbs. It didn't seem lke a big deal to them, so I wouldn't worry too much. just that you want your fills so that you keep going down in wieght, but maybe until you know something for sure, just excercise a bit extra to make up for the fill. Wish i could help you more. I be praying for you, though.

Are you sure you have a band? Where did you get it done at?

The same exact thing happened to a lady I know. We both had surgery one day apart. I met her at the hospital. We met up again at the airport and we went to get our first fills together. I got my fill and then she went in and came out crying! The doctor tried to inject the saline and the port wouldn't take it! She had to stay overnight and the next day the doctor replaced her port. I had already gone home, but from what I understood they would just give her a local anesthetic and go back in the same incision and replace the port. Worrying about the procedure is probably worse than the actual procedure. Good luck with this problem!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
