I had my weigh in put on 2 kilos and I am missing 1 mil of liquid from my band!!

It's either a air bubble or leak.

I find out in 2 weeks when he weighs me again..

Has anyone else had this happen to them and if so what was your outcome and should I be a little concerned?

I haven't had a problem like yours. my doctor withdraws all Fluid before he puts more in. it has always matched my files. if your band or tubing is leaking it does require surgery to repair. I don't know how invasive they have to be. I hope someone here has gone through this for you. and can answer your question

I would ask for a copy of yourrecords each time you check in with your doctor or your bariatric center. It would be interesting to see how they record this. Wishing you good health & great banding!

Don't worry prematurely as this could so easily be an error in record-keeping!

You should go on a PC and fill in your profile so we can give you a more informed answer?

You've gained 2 kilos since? You've lost 15 kilos up to this? gaining a few kilos/lbs here and there is so normal for all of us. Especially women(TOM). If you're exercising, could you be losing fat and gaining muscle?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
