I have went for one test the barium swallow. It showed no restriction. The band is still in place but the liquid goes down with no kind of hesitation. I will go Monday for another test with the dye to see if I have a leak. I will post my results. I just want to get it fixed. I am sure if I have a leak that means more surgery. I had great results until Jan . of this year. I paid for my surgery the first time. I am just waiting and hoping for a miracle. As far as what happened I do not know. I should have at least 12cc of saline according to my fills. I have re-gained 35 lbs. I have not had any problems up to this point. I know the lap-band works. I have had success, I just want it back.

I have a vanguard 10. I thought that meant 10 cc What type of vanguard band do you have

Hey I have been post-op since Aug. 2007. At first everything super, I lost 100lbs in 9 months. By 1 year mark I was down 20 more lbs. My grand total loss was 126lbs in 14 months. Then things changed. Basically the problem is I have saline leaking or that's what they think so far.I have re-gained 30lbs so far since this Jan. I have had a barium swallow and the result from that showed no slip but no restriction. I should have more saline than ever. I am going this next wk for a test with dye to see if indeed a leak exist. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem with a vanguard band?
