My story is long . I got banded in 08 in 13 my band slipped . I lost a total of 93 lbs. once I got my band revised I gain about 40 lbs. until I got the right fill and I started losing again . Lost about 35 of the 40 that I gained , and all of the sudden my band stopped working. I kept going back getting fills and nothing . One day I was on a lap band blog and this gentleman said maybe your band has slipped.. I went to see my gastric Doctor he put me under the X-ray looked at my band and believe it or not the band was filled up tight . So he never believe it was leaking. I came back twice since then and still I have no restrictions what so ever. Today when I went to see him , he said I'm going to pull out the fluid that is inside to see just how much is in there , when he did he pulled out about 3 cc and he said I should've had about 8 cc in there. So now we know for sure it's leaking . So now my next step is to either replaced the tub if it's leaking from there or the band itself . Or just take it out and get the sleeve. Has anyone have problems like this . Is anyone trying to consider from changing from the band to the sleeve . If so please I would like your in out on this matter.
