Myshel65 5 Posted July 29, 2012 So I had my surgery on April 26, 2012. My first fill was June 11. The day I went in for the fill the doctor was able to get the Fluid in the port but was unable to take it out. He had injected 5cc which was too much. So of course I got sick and threw up right after drinking the barium. Howrver he was unable to take it out. So he called the dr that preformed my surgery and explained. The doctor said I need to get up move around, wait 15 min and he would try again and sure enough that did the trick. He took 1cc out which worked great for the first few weeks... Shortly after I was back to having very little restriction. This morning I went in for my 2nd fill. They had the same issue again!! This time the doctor doing the fill attempted to remove the fluid that was already in me. He couldnt. So he said he refused to fill me as he feared the same thing that happened last time would happen again and I would get sick/obstructed an an emergency would be required. He advised me to call my dr Monday morning and see what he suggests but most likely I'll require a follow up surgery to fix the port. I am honestly just so frustrated at this point. I've lost 20 pounds but I've also been eating healthier and exercising. Most times I don't even feel like I have the band because I have so little restriction. My question is has anyone else had this issue?? A one way port that made it difficult or impossible to get the fills? What steps were needed to correct it? If follow up surgery was required how did it go? How long was recovery? Please help!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
