My band is not working



Recommended Posts

The fills don't go in. The liquid pushes back inside the needle leaving we with little to no restriction. Any ideas why this is happening?

And your Dr. had nothing to say?....

I had something similar, it was a kinked tube...like a garden hose...my port and and tubing are right up on the surface (no more belly fat) and you can clearly see the kink...so as he worked the syringe, I palpated the tube and it straightened out....

First he always pulls all the Fluid out to check volume and color...it could not pull the syringe back because of the kink...the harder he pulled, the more it kinked...and Like I said, you could watch it....

If the Fluid won't go in' date=' then either your band is already so tight no more can fit or there is something wrong with the port/tubing.

What does your doctor say?[/quote']

I have absolutely no restriction. So, I don't think it's tight it full.
