I found out this week that my band was not placed correctly when I had it put in last November. I have had very little restriction during that time and even though I was filled to 9cc in a 10cc band, I couldn't understand why I was still able to eat fairly big amounts of food. In the end the dr decided to send me for a barium meal only to discover that the band is wrapped around the fat tissue on the outside of the stomach rather than around the stomach. The dr can't explain how it happened and said he's never seen or heard of it before. Anyone here had this problem? Of course he has offered to go back in with a new band and correct the situation.

Of course now I'm stressing about having to go through this all again. I am booked to go in this Thursday but getting mixed advice about whether I'm doing the right thing. I know a number of people who have been to this dr without any problems, so I'm sure I should be okay but I'm still worried I might be making a mistake. Any thoughts?

Also can you please show me where the posts are on OH. I tried finding them but couldn't. Thanks.

Ohhhh, I have no idea! I can't use their stupid search feature for anything!

I'd start a new thread on the band boards and ask if anyone knows the names of the people and try to find them that way.

I know what you mean Wasa, LBT is one of the most user friendly boards I've been on. I belong to another one which is similar... not for weight loss though.

I will do what you said and try and find them. Thanks.
