I have had multiple prob w/ my band. Infection at the port which had to be removed for 6months, a cracked port-replaced,gastric herniation up over the band requiring repositioning of the band. Now i can't keep a fill. I had one under fluo that held 2wks (long enough to have 3 xrays with no sign of leakage). The fluo fluid is thick and leaks out slowly. Now when i get a fill it leaks out w/in 24hrs. no weight loss in a year. I am sched for fills q2wks, but without a viscous fluid there isn't much point.
