Might have a hole in my band

Got fill yesterday and the Dr. told me that he is concerned because when he went to give me fill in my band he only pulled out a very small amount of previous fill of 1.5 cc. When he gave me that one, he said it was bone dry. He gave me 2 cc and told me he thinks maybe I have a hole in my band that was punctured during surgery. When I go back in 4 weeks he wants to see how much is left in band from this fill so he can decide what to do next. Really hoping it's not a hole because then it will have to be replaced :eek:

 

I had gained back 2 pounds since last time I got a fill so hopefully I will feel tighter this time.

if there is a hole that makes sense you gained back some weight -- and getting the fill this time obviously meant you felt you needed more restriction? the silver lining here is - way to go!!! if you have been losing weight with NO fill - imagine that!? .....hang in there - saying a prayer for you that you don't have a hole - but if you do get it replaced and move onward girl! Hang in there!
