missing fluid........

[Debster21 0]

Ok, I went for my second fill today. I was told that my dr. put 3 cc's in my band at the time of surgery. At my first fill the nurse withdrew it (3 cc's ) and told me she put it back...and added 2 more. For a total of 5 cc's in my 10 cc band.

Today....the dr. could only pull out 3 cc's. He put it back ...sat me up and had me drink Water while he inserted 1.5 cc's more. (actually put in 2...but then i couldn't swallow...so he pulled out 0.5)

Do you think the nurse forgot to add 2 cc's? Does it evaporate? Do i have a leak?? If i have a leak...how come more didnt leak out?

Why do have restriction with 4.5 cc and I havent had any with the supposed 5 cc i've had since March?

So many questions......UGGGHHHH

Sounds like the nurse didn't put in the extra 2 ccs...

As weird as it sounds, I think the saline finds it way out the band. I was supposed to be at 9cc's and the doctor only withdrew 7 and put 8 back in. I don't have the same restriction it doesn't feel like so I go today for another fill and should be back at 9 cc's. After eating my meal I don't get hungry until about 3 hours later and I want the fullness to last 4-5 hours so that is why I am going for another fill. I think you are going to do good with the cc's you have now. Good luck

They rarely withdraw what was put in. I was at 8.5 the pulled it out and about 6.5 came out. He put back in 7 and I have been fine for months. Very common I don't think you are losing Fluid.< /p>
