Hi everyone! Just an update from me. Currently, I have 7cc in my band and i was banded in june of this year and i have lost only 46#:smile:. I then, had to change docs because the one i had didnt want to give me fills, like i was lyin or something because my restriction would not last long:confused:. So, i changed and the amount i suppose to have had in my band was not what was actually in the band at all:eek:. So , to make a long story short, i went for a fill to day and told him the same thing. I needed a fill. So he started to do his thing, and i felt restricted, so he took some out and then told me to drink again and i ended up drinkin 4 6oz cups of Water and no restriction:eek:! Yeah, exactly what I thought! So he's lookin at me like, u dont feel anything?, I said no if i did i would probably be throwing up on you right now! so he pondered over it for a minute and said u know what?, i said what? i got a leak? he said yeah. So now at least they know i wasn't lyin about my restriction and maybe after i get it fixed i can start losing some weight! I have to get my port replaced MOnday! So pray for me my sistas! and merry christmas and happy new year to all of you!!

That is a something... Why didn't the first doctor take the time to realize you had a leak? I'm sure you asked yourself that question many times. The good thing is that they realized something was wrong and can correct it.. Do you have any idea what caused the leak? I'm asking because I had my first fill about two weeks ago and the Nurse Practioner did it, not the docotor and he was having a hard time finding the entrance and the entire time I was saying to myself I hope he doesn't put a darn hole in my band? Good Luck on Monday and keep us posted and Merry Christmas

Don't they take out the liquid to check if there is a leak? Good luck

Hi everyone! I had my surg monday and it seems that when the first doc was doin my fills, evidently he bent the port up pretty bad and that's what caused my leak:angry:! My new doc did take out the saline each time but it leaked out slowly and when he put more in to hold my restriction is when he discovered it. But I'm glad it is over with maybe i can get on to loosing more weight!:confused::cursing:
