Kinked Tube

[Dennise 0]

So I was banded 3/1/13, down about 21 lbs so far. But, I went for my 1st fill on 4/5 and my MD could fill but not aspirate. So he thought my tubing was kinked. Which in fact, it was as confirmed by x-ray. He couldn't manipulate it to unkink so now I have to go back for surgery again. He says he's only seen this happen 3 times so far. Has anyone heard of this? I'm disappointed because I am behind schedule now for filling, and I have not quite 2ccs fill, which is like nothing!

It happened to me....however in my case, my port is right under the skin, and you can clearly see the port and tubing. So between the 2 of us, we were able to "unkink" it....

one worked the syringe and the other massaged the tubing....

Thank you! It's just so frustrating because I'm behind for my first fill. I feel like I should be doing much better than down about 20 lbs.
