Hello Dr. I've Been In And Out Of The Hospital

Hello Dr. I've been in and out of the hospital for the last 20 days for internal bleeding. I've had an ulcer corrected but the bleeding continues. I've had my full GI track checked multiple times and an active bleed can not be located. I do have a lap band and the new theory is this is the cause. In addition to this I also have entrapped bowl hernia, the culture of the ulcer came back negative for the ulcer bacteria and I've also just completed a round of flagial for C-diff. I'm getting conflicting advice on the next steps to remove the band and would like some info to help me decide what to do.
