Went for my 2nd fill within a month after getting my first fill and all the Fluid had leaked out. Got my second fill and am feeling some restriction now. I'm hoping that I didn't wast 13 grand on getting this thing. I hope it holds the fills from now on. Is yours holding the fluid now? What's going on with your lap band fluid at this point?
Looked all over the internet for an explanation and called my doctor's office. Although theories and analogies to filling a tire are given, there seems to be no medical explanation as to what is causing the leakage. I don't buy the theory that the fluid "evaporates" into "air" INSIDE THE BAND. If we were talking about a huge room, yeah ok, but that's a tiny little space of air and there is such a thing as saturation meaning nothing can evaporate in 100% humidity. It has to go somewhere. That explanation sounds like someone who has no idea of what they are talking about making up a story since they really don't know. Good to hear the half of lap band patients experience this mysterious loss of fluid between the first and second fills though. I was hoping for an update from you since we haven't heard from you since August of 2007.
