Lost Fills...

[cosean 0]

I am confused... I have a 4cc band. My first fill was 1cc. My 2nd fill was .4 cc's (they pulled the 1cc out and verified it was there). My 3rd fill was .4 cc's which should have brought the total to 1.8 cc's but it was 1.9 cc's. An extra .1 cc's? Now, today I had a fourth fill of .4 cc's but there was only 1.6 cc's in there? I knew I didn't have it all because I very suddenly lost all feelings of restriction. So, my question - where did the .3 cc's go?

Thanks

Apparently losing Fluid from the band is not unusual. My doctor even addressed that issue in our orientation seminar! I just returned from my second fill and the nurse told me that I had lost 1/2 of the 1.5cc fill I had 3 weeks ago! They took all of that out and re-filled it with Omnipaque, a thicker fluid.

Cosean,

I was told the same thing by my Doc as TeriDoodle. In fact, he told me that there us a semipermeable membrane & it is not uncommon to absorb a little Fluid.

He also said some Fluid actually goes into the tubing.

I havent had a second fill but I'm now wondering myself becuase I had good restriction, now it feels like I never had a fill. I am not scheduledd for 2nd fill until June 14, 2007.

I need to get my Inamed book that came with my band & look that up.
