Leak In Band?

[lgm217 2]

How would I know if I had a leak in my band?! The idea was suggested to me today by a fellow bandster.

Thanks!

You won't know unless you have restriction and suddenly can eat anything..

whoever does your fills should pull all Fluid from the band and see if what is in there matches what they have on record. If it doesn't, you should fill again and then the next time you're in, have them pull all out and check again. If you're missing fluid 2x in a row, it's likely you have a leak.

I was DX'd with a leak by my surgeon. I would lose all sense of restriction. He would pull all the Fluid out of my band and fill was missing. He would put in a specific amount, and the next week I would be missing several CC's.

It can also be DX'd under Fluoroscopy.

Why do you think you have a leak?
