Hi, This is my first time posting to anything like this. I was banded in Oct. 08. So far I have lost 35lbs. My doctor was Dr. Kevin Higa. I have had to fills,but could not tell you how much or even what band I have in. After reading some of your blogs, I really feel un-informed. My last fill was in Feb. and I had lost 8 lbs. that month and he really didn't want to give me another fill. Since then I have not lost any weight and I do feel restricted after eating a meal but I am finding I really want to snack which really got me to this point to begin. I am really feeling down. :sneaky: I did have a strange thing happen to me after my last fill which I haven't talked to my doctor about. About a week after my fill I woke up with a bite or what I thought was a bite on the spot where he had injected me. It itched but went away shortly after I got up. It happen again the next day, since then it hasn't happened again. This may be a stupid question but could my port have leaked? I have noticed I don't get as full as fast as I think I should, and am afraid I have either stretched my pouch or has my band slipped? Any help with my worries would be great. I go back to my doctor next month and really can afford to go back before. Thanks

What is floro? My first fill the doctor could get into the port and he was suprised to find my had flipped over. He said it was a little early for that. I was worried about mine leaking also.

I have that same worry. I don't drink any soda, but I seem to beable to eat so much and I have had two fills. I also don't seem to be losing any weight after this last fill.
