Went in surgery Thursday, September 5th for port replacement and he also replaced tubing that had a hole in it near port. Everything else looked good. He did put a small amount of liquid in band. I do have some restriction after more than a year! Lost 6lbs since Thursday!

Glad all went well! Good luck!

Sounds like they hit the tubing once when trying to access the port.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
