Hey Trish, at least you know what the problem is, and that is always better. Since you know what is wrong, you can get it fixed. Hopefully you will going on your weight loss kicked in once get this fixed.

I so relate Trish.

Last year I thought I was going nuts, I'd get a fill then a few days later, no restriction at all.

My leak was in a kink fold of the tubing close to the port. I actully flew down to Monterrey MX becuace Dr. Sanchez insisted. He removed the section of tubing with the hole and placed a sleeve over of the tubing. During that fix he didn't charge me for his services but there was nurse and attended fees and it was preformed at a clinic as out patient. I paid about $250. They did pull out the port to get to the hole.

Replaceing the port is much easier then the tubing. My fix didn't work and Dr. Sanchez replaced the band but that's another story entirely. Don't worry, you'll be good as new and you are not a failure. We all know the band has got to work as a proper tool.

I like Rene's way of thinking. If it can be charged as a Hernia repair it's worth looking into.
