Paula I have never thought of removing the saline to see how much is still in there but you bet I will ask the doctor tomorrow about doing it. I'm sure he will appreciate me telling him how to do it but at this point I'm very concerned. I got another post from Dr. Curry who does Lap Band surgeries and he is very encouraging to me. Thanks for your input.

I had my Lap Band surgery done the 6th of April. I have had two fills. One was 1.3 and the second was .8. That one was two weeks ago. I have not thrown up once. I have had NO restriction at all. I am going back to my surgeon but I am very concerned. There is no doubt in my mind that there is leakage. Does anyone know where I go from here? Who pays the bill if the band has malfunctioned and I have to have something replaced?

Thanks for the information. I have not lose any weight since I was banded and have never felt any different in my appetite. Hopefully I will be able to get this fixed without surgery.

thanks for your quick reply. My doctor told me after the second fill that I shouldn't return for 4 to 6 months so that is why I was concerned. I was wondering...I noticed that you had to be rebanded. Did yo have to absorb the cost of the second surgery also?

I was banded on April 6th. Pain was very minimul. I need some help on swallowing. Lap Band doctor say I am having esphogeal spasms. Other trouble is diahrrea...can't get it to stop. I am eleven days post-op. Does anyone have any suggestions for either one?? My other question is....is anyone hungry??

Thanks for all the replys. I am private pay so my most pain today was going to get a cashier's check for $14,500.00 I'm ready for the change but my husband keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to do this. Any ideas? How did other members treat you as you lost the weight? I'm sure it will be different just don't know what to expect.
