Hey all I was banded 17th October 13, at Dolan park in bromsgrove. I had to fund it myself and it was done by mr sigurdsson. Following my band (10 days post-op) my port wound completely opened up to the point where the nurse but her finger in and could feel the port inside. Quite gross!
I went to see mr sigurdsson at his clinic and he decided he would take the port out there and then, which required another operation. Due to the port being taken out, my band had no fluid in it. From then until 12th December, I had to return to the nurse 3 times a week to have the wound repacked and dressed to help it heal, as it had been left open following surgery. 12th December I had a new port put back in, and I had 6ml put in my band. I was in a rush to get back home, so it wasn't until I got home I realised my band was too tight. I couldn't keep my own saliva down never mind anything else. So the following morning I had 2ml taken out, and 1st February this year I had 1ml put in. I am struggling to keep things down at the moment and I really have to fight the sickness. I think it is still too tight but feel reluctant to have any taken out as I am worried about gaining weight. I have gone from 15st13 to 12st xxxx
