No he hadn't checked the level everytime I went. And I didn't go since april up until a month ago. I was fine until I had the small unfill and then I lost almost all restriction.
-
I didn't have an issue until I went from 6 to 6.5 then I went back two days later for an unfill of .25 . I almost immediately had no restriction. I waited three weeks to go back for a fill. This is when he checked the Fluid and only 5 came out. He put back 5.5 I go back in a month to see what the level is. I'm so not happy about this. I've only had my band for 10 1/2 months. He really downplayed it and doesn't think its a leak. But where the heck did all that fluid go? I read that sometimes not all the fluid will retract out. I dunno. I'm tired from worrying about it. :/

I've only had my band ten months..and I have heard of evaporation. Still concerned.

Is this possible? My band lost some fluid but the doc said its probably not a leak..I was supposedly at 6.25 had my level checked and only 5cc came out. The fluid was clear and he said if it was a leak I would have lost more fluid and the fluid wld be yellow not clear...so what gives?

The hairloss is Telogen Effluvium a side effect of trauma or a shock to your system including anesthesia and rapid wt loss. It happened to me starting at 2 mos post op and lasted almost until 6mos post op. It's horrifying. The good news is it does slow down then pretty much stop. Nothing you take will stop the cycle. You just have to let it run its course. Hang in there.

Banderina replied to Chazmataz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I drink when and what I want..just like before. It doesnt affect me any differently. Only it will loosen things up so I can eat more after a drink ,only thing to be careful about besides extra calories of course. -

confused with post-op diet
Banderina replied to HOLLY80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I find this hard to believe too. There no way I was eating those foods just weeks after surgery either. -

It really pisses me off when I hear about Dr. Offices that won't give an appt to someone who is suffering!!! It takes less than a minute to perform an unfill! When I called a few months ago with an issue they told me to come right in. That should always be the case. If your doctor doesn't provide that level of care I suggest finding one that will.

My understanding is my 10cc band holds 10cc not 14.. Sounds like you have a 14cc band?
