Where has all my saline gone?

[sherrypep 91]

I have been banded a year December 21st. I have had many fills and should have been at 10cc's which is about what my band holds. However I have no restriction again and when I go in for a fill they are only able to pull out 5 or 6 cc's. I did have an overfill once where I felt so much restriction I couldnt keep down Water, it was a rough week but I was almost glad to know my band was there. I had a slight unfill and an adjustment under flouroscopy to check for leaks in my band, they found nothing wrong and put back the Fluid and again no restriction at all. I am getting no answers accept that this is rare. Its very frustrating. I lost 40 pounds in the first five months and than nothing since. I am going for a fill again on January 8th. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

If you're missing 4 or 5cc in less than a year, something is wrong.

I would demand they check your band for a leak. That much Fluid doesn't just disappear in a couple months. Either you have a leak or they haven't put in as much as you thought.

Best wishes.
