    Band leak?

    I too, feel I have a leak, though I feel I have had mine since day one. I have not lost more than 5 llbs, since my May 19, 2010 surgery. I kept going back to my dr and they never offered to do anything. They kept telling me that the band wasn't a cure and it is a tool only. I kept telling them that something was wrong and I am not loosing the weight. Finaly in November, I told them to take out all the Fluid. I was 2 cc short. They told me that they could have missed. GREAT! Now, I don't know what I have in. They gave me a total of 8 ccs and a week later I was back because it was too much. I have a VERY slow leak. After 8months of the medical people telling me that it was me and I am not eating right, I made appointment with another Dr., and before I even saw them, they asked for an upper GI. I have a nice band with NO restriction. Even I could see that the band is just sitting there doing nothing, did not slow the birium drink at all. Then dr doing the procedure, the tech and me all saw it do NOTHING!!! My symptoms consist of very, very little restriction and weight gain. I currently weight 5 lbs more then I did at surgery day. I work out and try to watch what I eat, but to be honest, I was loosing more on Atkins and no band. What happens now?? I don't know what I am going to do now. What about you?
