Please help. I am almost certain that I have a leak in my port. (Have already had one allergan port replaced due to leak in port) But my doctor went to put in a fill....could not pull out ANY fluid or put ANY saline into the port. The center that I go to is very well known.....he has never seen this.....where none will even go into the band when it is empty. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Lap Band Doctor Cannot Get Fill To Go In
mwtullos replied to mwtullos's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well......bad port. Dr. thinks that I had a kink that let all my fills out and leaked out all the saline. Well, when then went to put more in......it had kinked more and would not let any even go in....all said and done....i have to have yet another port replacement. UGH! Last time I paid 1900.00 total for everything. This time....my dr. office is trying to help with costs! Hopefully I will hear something in a week or two. -
Pregnancy with Lap Band??
mwtullos replied to JRidge28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my first pregnancy without a band....135 to 220 lbs! My second pregnancy was last year.....150 to 165. The baby was fine! He weighed 8 lbs! I loved having the band while I was pregnant. I could still eat....just not overdo it! -

First of all....thanks so much for taking time to respond! Do you think that I could have a kink that let all my saline out and then it kinked even more and a couple of months after that it was kinked so badly that no saline could even be injected into my port?
