I also have a leaking band. I have had my band for over 3 years and had lost over 160 pounds. At out 9 months ago I started packing it back on and quick! I went to the doctor 3 months ago and had gained a whopping 80 pounds. The doc checked my band under fluero and did an endoscopy. He still has been unable to find the leak. I am scheduled for surgery in 3 weeks to check the port and if the leak is not in the port he is going to replace the actual band. I am heartsick because I was so successful and am now so far off track. I am also heartsick because the cost is killing me. Although thankfully I have insurance I still have an out of pocket to my doc for nearly $500 and still have to pay the hospital (cost unknown at this time). In the meantime I have done research and found that the Realize Band was recalled at one point. I am disturbed I didn't know this and have to wonder if this is part of my problem. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this kind of problem???
