Hi All, please help! I was banded 6 years ago and have been having port pain for a while. I met my bariatric surgeon and he dismissed it. I was asking for removal. Now I am in severe pain and have been to ER and they said it's lapband erosion and will need to be removed asap. I understand how they remove the band but around my belly button to get to the port I have a huge absess and I am terrified and can't find any posts about anyone who has this. Has anyone heard of this? My belly button is red and sore and I am on so many antibiotics...

Obviously, the surgeon who did your lapband is an idiot. I'm not a doctor, don't have a lapband, all I have is the info I gathered preparing for my WLS and I knew you had erosion. Find another surgeon asap! They should have referred you in the ER.
