Hey all,
I had a gastric band fitted in July 2011 and went on to lose a total of 10 stone, but in July this year i had no restriction at all. I went for a band fill and was refused as I should have had 12 mill in a 14 mil band so i piled on a stone and then went for an xray where it revealed there was a leak.
I had to have revision surgery as the port had come away from the tubing. I'm sat on the sofa and very uncomfortable having been sent out with some paracetamol..it was done laprascopic through old scar tissue and under general but not as bad as the first time. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had to go through this? or heard of it?
I feel like I am starting the journey again but at least they used the same band and it is now filled with 3mills but got to keep going back for fills again : ( x
