Leak in the port is a easy fix, replace the port and that's it. Finding the leak is most of the problem and most leaks are in the port. They might keep you awake through the procedure and you'll feel a lot of tugging. Just keep asking for meds!!! It should'nt take more than 15 minutes. Keep us posted and relax. Your on the mend.

I have had 3 people close to me with cancer related problems within the last 2 months. Billys sister had a lump-ectomi(sp) two weeks ago and now needs kemo, his other sister has tyroid cancer. And whats with the price of gas? one day it's 2.25 then 2.45 the next. So sorry to hear about the 2 year old killed by a bus

So I'm on my boat this weekend and this crazy jetskier all most plowed into our boat. Hello!! How could you not see us? Lisa, the moon (cresent right now) is in line with mars and the sun. This only happens once every 2 years. Cops think they have more rights then "normal" people. Once a cop had a gun up to the side of my face, and anther cop had a shotgun slammed in my back. They were looking for someone (wrong place at the wrong time), In a very normal voice I kept saying "get the gun off my back" and all he could say was "don't make me nervous". As you can imagin, I'll never forget that feeling. They found the guy and my remark was "what gives you the right!" not even a sorry lady...

Prilosec helps me, I don't get heartburn all the time, about 4 times a week. Dr. McKeen prescribed Prilosec in pakage form that you mix with 2 tlbs of water. He said I don't have to take it every day, just when I need it. But not more than once a day. I havn't had a fill yet, so I don't have an unfill option. If after a few days you still get bad heartburn, you may need an unfill. A tiny bit can make the biggest difference.

I'm so sure Carolyn would just love the birds. So sweet So true...I worked with my current soon to be husband for 13 years before I realized what was in front of me...

Penni is truly a wonderful beautiful person, always has the biggest smile.

Adorable picture! Such sweet smiles

I tried and tried. I'm sore everywhere!! I did manage to get up off the Water for about 3 seconds... Well it's back to work. Hope everyone had a good holiday

Shannon I might just call myself the leak queen... First was your fill conducted under fluoroscopy, that's the only way to see a leak. The two leak checks I've had were with contrast(omniplaque). The contrast is put in the port and you watch under xray/fluoroscopy, following the contrast up the tubing to the band. Some leaks are so small it's very hard to detect. Look for kinks in the tubing, that's where mine was. Most leaks are in the port or tubing, I was rebanded due to my tubing being repaired but the repair didn't work. So my Dr. decided to reband me. That was his decision and rebanding is not always recommended. If you really think you have a leak, you must convince your doctor to investigate. Eating a burger and hotdog right after a fill doesn't mean you have a leak. Not getting any saline out raises some questions...was he really in your port for sure?

I love Propel I usually water it down.

Isa, WOW I remember you as in the first pic when we met in Monterrey. I'm so happy for you!!! That's it, I know which doc I'm going to use, I want a chin like yours! You can't beat the price Thank you, thank you for posting these pics. I'm saving my money

Puleeeeze that's good...ahhhh ditto

this will be my future schedule...going part-timebe home for the kids either way....still, you take the first BITE of food at 9am. OK that's lunch

If you take the coast, 101, about 8 hours from LA......but, Vegas to Bartrow to Bakersfieild to Hy 5,cut off @ 152 to Gilroy/Morgan Hill, estimate 8 hours?? Are you lost, I am I'll leave the light on for you.

Isn't there a banster bash in Vegas this weekend? You could always cruz up my way....takeing out the boat, I'm going to atempt skiing! Have a Wonderful Holiday!

I have an AM band too....I must sip sip sip until about 9, then a protein shake. I'm very tight in the mornings. Getting in hard proteins is very difficult. This band is very tight and I'm yet to get a fill...

Congratulations Celeste!

Congratulations Jim and Celeste Take it easy!! Jim, everytime I see a hamburger I think of what you said "just chew it up and spit it out"

My Roxanne shaved her chin 2 years ago....saw my razor on the tub. She had double razor cuts in every picture on our trip to Yosemite. I don't keep razors or scissors within reach anymore, learned my lesson.

I've got freinds with eye tatts, one with blue very nice and thin, the other with black, hers are too thick. Just before I went into trail last month. I had to meet up with a clinical strink, who told me how to dress, to dye my hair all one color (had highlights) and wear it up in a bun, and no eyeliner or lip liner. My first responces was "good thing I didn't get my eyes tattoed". This shrink preps people for a jury's first impression. I have noticed those with there eyebrows done, it's too obvious. If I could get very thin eyelines, I would do it. Can't wait to see your pic, Lisa

Your both so beautiful. Did you get another fill? whats up?

Darling Husband......Darn Husband

A fine man indeed! Give her a big kiss from me

Sister support! too cool Congrats

Ya details please!! I've been with Lisa, that's a party in it's self! Welcome Home!
