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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
