  1. Hello. Has anyone ever experienced diarrhea and a rumbling tummy after a fill? This is been ongoing for 3 weeks now. I'm going back to my doctor Tuesday but just wanted to know if anyone else had a similar problem.

    Leak in Port/Tube

    No, they don't know why it's leaking, and actually can't find the leak, so it must be very small. I went for a procedure where the injected dye to find the leak, but my doctor didn't see anything. He filled me with 2.5 cc'd and when I went back 2 weeks later, I only had 1 cc. So I then went for an endoscopy to make sure the lining around the band was ok, all is ok. Next step is band replacement. Fingers crossed all goes well with that. I have gain 10 pounds, so I'm eager to get this problem fixed!!!

    Leak in Port/Tube

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a leak in their Port/Tube? I went to my doctor today, and he realized my band was leaking. I have to go next week for a study to see where it is leaking. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this before, and had it replaced? What was it like? Was recovery anything to be concerned with? I didn't get much info from my doctor today, but figured if anyone here could help me out, that would be great! Jacki

  11. Has anyone had a gas pain in their shoulder after a fill? I had my fill about 10 days ago, and am still feeling a gas pain in my shoulder blade. It's similar to when I had surgery, but the pain isn't as bad. Just curious if anyone else has had it.
