Possible Lap band leaking!



Recommended Posts

I went for a fill today,instilled 1cc of saline today and the nurse pulled back to measure Fluid because I had 7.5cc of Fluid in since Aug. 18 2014 with not much restriction, she could only get 2cc of fluid back under fluoro, she tried several times with no success, she think their might be a leak somewhere. Even though I have lost almost 25 pounds I'm devastated, don't know for sure yet, going for barium swallow on Monday, If anyone has experienced this please help, let me know what to expect, I cant have surgery again because I can't take time off from work, nor do I have the time to take, please pray for me that it's something simple.

Thanks

Tiffany

complications are horrible. I pray that there is a explanation other than a leaking band. I lost a cc of Fluid but the tests were all normal, no leaking band. you are doing so well. keep up the good work even if there is a problem. it is hard. but can be done. hope all goes well.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
