Hi I do not have a doc name for you but are you sure the port is disconnected? My port moved which i guess can be common but it is still attached my doc will be doing my next fill under fluro and xray to ensure port location. Shauna

I am not from you area but I had to have my port replaced, it had broke away from where it was stitched. There is a Yahoo msg board based out of Dallas area that maybe can be of help to you, it is DFW Bandsters best of luck!

Tracy, there are four places for the port to be stitched. It is unlikely that all four have come loose. It can flip over if two come loose. An exam with fluro can tell you for sure. THere are wonderful docs in the Austin area. Unfortunately, finding one willing to accept liability for a surgery done in Mexico is a little difficult. The docs charges are all going to be about the same. I would call a few listed under "Bariatric Surgeons" and ask if that doc takes revisions and/or repairs on surgeries done in Mexico. Best of luck to you!
