Well my appointment didn't go as planned. It appears as if my Dr is just incompetent, ignorant or both. Basically, he is still blowing off my concerns and the concern of his PA (I guess he feels he is the Dr and he knows best) but refuses to even entertain the idea that I have a leak even though when I went in every time now the correct amount of Fluid is not present. He just wants me to keep coming in every month for fills. I am now looking for another surgeon. It really bothers me that my Dr is this way because at one time he was a successful, caring surgeon. Now it seems that his practice is dwindling and he is not listening to his patients. He just only wants me to count my calories. Trust me, it is so much easier to count calories if I had a functioning band. If I did it the way he wants, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL AT IT, I would have never gotten a band in 2003. I'm sorry, just frustrated.
I had a leak in my port. I had port replacement surgery last year done under local anesthesia and my restriction returned. Honestly... now that I think about it in hindsight... they didn't test to confirm it was leaking at the port. I guess I am lucky that it was or I would have had the surgery for nothing.
I believe there is a dye they can use with fluoroscopy that will help them see where it is leaking form.
Good luck! Sorry about your leak. My best advice is be proactive and get it repaired as soon as possible. I waited almost 2 years and re-gained 56 pounds. Ugh.
