How Can People Who Share the Same Struggle Be So Judgmental?

donnalemaster my first band developed a leak, and I had to pay again to have it removed and a new one implanted. This one works great I have lost over 4 stone, in 2 years and I am so glad I had a new one. This is my lifeline, and I would go though it all agin if this one failed (please God I hope it doesnt).

Dont despair love, all will turn out well in the end.

To the person with the port leak... I just went through the whole thing of being worried sick, and what would they do.....

I have a 4cc band (older one) They put 2cc of saline in there, and 1/2cc acrylic. So if there was a leak anywhere,, it would seal it.

I'm fine....... It was that easy.

They did it under fluoroscopy (PAINLESS) and watched for any type of leak or break. Nothing...

So yep I know how you feel, and more. It took me 3 years to get it fixed, had to find a new surgeon (MINE WOULDN"T TOUCH ME) so I regained around 100lbs....

But you to when you get yours fixed, you will be off and running again.

Good Health to you, Shirley.
