Water Is Coming Out Of My Lap Band?
Alexandrala posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I got banded three years ago in Mexico. The last three adjustments have been useless. The very first day of the adjustment is perfect but after the second or third day it's like there was no adjustment made. Is there a possibility the water is coming out of my band? -
Water Is Coming Out Of My Lap Band?

Thanks everyone for the responses, the Dr. who does my fills is here in the US. He tells me he's never seen a case where the band loses water or "leaks" hmmm, I'll ask him to do an x-ray regardless... -
Why Are My Fills Not Working Any More?

I am having something really strange happen. I have been having chest and upper back pain, specially around my left shoulder blade and right front side chest pain. I notice it only after I am done eating or drinking something. After digestion process is over I notice it goes away, can this be due to my lapband?

I have tried to keep it healthy and choose wisely; however, it seems like only bad foods can be ingested: IE: Chips, Cookies, Peanuts, Bread, fried stuff and stuff like that, I can't eat veggies or fruit and well done meats at any given time. Once in a while I can, but 95% of the time I can't. Does anyone else have this problem? Just to clarify, I have a small band (4cc) and I only have 2.3cc in, which has been great. I have lost about 40 lbs of the 60 I want to lose.I am just somehow afraid that instead of helping myself, It will harm considering what I am able to eat.

Hi Cheri, I got my surger done in Mexico not long ago, I feel that the media exaggerates, but if you only go to take care of business and back there is not problem. I paid 6k for my band in Mexico, the Dr. has been great and most of his clients are from the US. feel free to search for Dr. Francisco Gonzalez, Tijuana.
