  1. hi hiddn im not sure if you're still using this site but maybe someone else might have some insight into my symptoms. I had my band in feb 2013 and last 56 lbs over the following six months.then everything stopped. on my last fill(not fluro)my nurse said that i had a leak as the saline was not clear.that was 6 weeks ago and i haven't done anything with it since. Since it is self paid and i need to raise the funds to pay for a repair. however for the last 3 weeks i have had symptoms that i thought were a kidney infection. but numerous tests (ultrasound and Ct scan)showed that kidneys were ok. I also asked the hospital to check my gall bladder but they said it was ok. Now i have been discharged and feel no better. nauseous,campy and pain in left side. Has anyone else had a similar problem and could it possibly be related to my gastric band. if anyone has any insight into this i would be grateful as my hospital do not have any idea on gastric band problems or failures.
