What I've been told is that if you have a leak, then you may start out with restriction, but that it will quickly go away as the Fluid leaks out of the band. (Over the course of several hours to several days) However, this is not a common ocurrence. I know it's scary when they can't find the port (and it can be painful) but I'm guessing that you're probably fine. :thumbup:
