falloutgal 0 Posted April 16, 2008 I went to my doctor on April 4th. He said I had 3.5 cc's . He wanted to pull all the fills out before giving me another fill. He only pulled out 1 cc. He put it back with 2 more cc's for a total of 3 cc's. Over the weekend I was having trouble swallowing Water. On Monday the 7th, my husband took me back to the doctor. It wasn't my doctor on call, anyway he said I was probably swollen and had to remove all the fills!:rolleyes2: Anyway he said I only had 1.5 cc's in the band!!:confused2: He made me stay on liquids for a week and told me to see my own doctor in a week. The office said the doctor was booked until May 9th so I took that appointment. Has this happened to anyone else? Please let me know, what should I do, I have NO RESTRICTION!!!!!

IAmWithTheBand 0 Posted April 17, 2008 There is definitly something wrong. That should not have happened. Perhaps get a second opinion... it can't hurt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mae 0 Posted April 17, 2008 I am not banded yet, but this does not sound right. I have been on these posts for awhile and go to support group meetings. I will pray for you. I would call your doctor again very soon and try really hard to get in to see him. Take care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know for sure that they are actually getting the fills into the port? Have they used a fluorscopy to make sure?? I got my first fill today and after my surgeon poked around trying to insert the needle into the port about 4 times he took me to do the fill with the fluorscopy, the port wasn't where he thot it would be exactly.
