saline leaking from needle hole?

Nykee · April 29, 2006

When I went in for a slight unfill.

She had the needle in the port..

and the saline stuff came out of the hole in my stomach (from the needle) and dripped all over,

she said it was from my already present fill and I had just leaked it all out.

she said she had never seen that happen before.

she had to get more saline and refill it.

anyone know whats up with that?

otherwise everything else is fine.

It sounds like she keep aspirating the needle as she withdrew the needle causing the saline to "spill" out. As long as she aspirated it all out and then put back in the required amount of fill, you're good to go.

Hey, I've been wondering about you!

How you been?

I agree with Elisabeth on the fill thing though. As long as she made sure to put back as much as you were supposed to have, you should be ok. You feeling better getting that unfill?

I feel 100000 times better.. no problems AT All now..

I went through the problems over a month and it seemed like it was juse how It was gonna be.. hard to imagine it would be different, but it totally is, everything I was going throgh has stopped.

My fill is too loose now.. my fill doc said I could come back and get more if needed for no charge, but I tried and long story short, I missed out on that..

so I have to get a fill now, someday when I have the money. I am affraid I will gain weight.. I weighed today and I am 336, witch means I HAVE not benifited from the unfill naturally... I gained (was hovering around 330#)and need to watch out or I could gain more and more.

COMPLICATIONS.. suck, my band has only 'worked" for me Half the time..

and I am getting pissy about it.. but trying not to.. cuz others have it WAy worse by losing the band, or infections.. or not being able to lose weight much at all.

Thanks for asking.. thanks for your support
