Where did my fill saline go????

Connorsmom · March 29, 2009

Before I was pregnant my 4cc band was filled to capacity. I got pregnant - did not have an un-fill and did fine. I had the baby and still had restiction - lost my baby weight (25lbs) and then all of a sudden - POOF - my restriction was gone. I can eat like I did pre-band. I quickly put on 30 lbs.

I had a fill last Tuesday and he put in 1.5cc - I still have no restriction (a tiny, tiny bit but not like pre-baby). When I asked what happened to my saline that was in there - my doctor just said he did not know!

This is totally crazy - where did it go? I want to feel restricition like I did before I had the baby and get these 30 lbs off.

I go back in a month and am asking for another fill.

Anyone else experience this??

I was told after awhile some can evaperate. I was also told that if we loose about 20 pounds some of that is probably around our stomach and that is why you need more fills. Hope this helps and all Drs are differant but this is what mine said. Good luck

Something similar happened to me recently. I have lost 112 lbs. still need to lose 75. I went for a fill last Wed. I had some restriction before the fill but weight loss had slowed and I was getting hungry between meals. So I went for the fill. After the fill I had no restriction. Going back this Wed. to find out what's going on. It scares me. I have no idea why this happened.

Hi, I just wanted to check and see how things went with your fluoro fill? I am having the same problem and I was reading through your posts and curious how it worked out. I had my daughter 20 months ago and cannot get down past where I was when I got pregnant with her. I had 2.6 cc in 4cc band and was losing great, when I got pregnant took out the Fluid because I could not even drink Water. Now I have been getting fill, had on on the 30th of March, restrcited for a few days on now nothing. I had a 6 inch sandwich last night with no problem. I put up a post wondering if it could have slipped downward or something. I called my doctor, so I am hoping to go in and see what the problem is. She told me this last time that she gave me a generous amount and that I would definately being losing weight, not happening!
