I had lapband surgery on June 10th 2010. My band has never worked because i have a leak at my port. My Dr said it was a manufacture defect and that i need to have my port replaced. I have had 5 fills that lasted a day or two and thats it. I was told I did not have to pay to have the port replaced. We will see where it goes from here. It is very dissapointing. :smile:

I have just gone for my 4th fill yesturday, 5th April. The first fill that I had was 7.3, this was done under xrey, the second was done in a clinic and was 1.7 then there was the 3rd fill also in a clinic, this was 1cc bringing the total to 100cc in a 14cc band. However I began to think something was wrong becuase I have not had mach restriction and none with the last 2 fills so I paid for another xray fill and when he asparated all the sealine in the band there was only 7.3 in there. So did the other 2 fills miss the port or have I got a lead? is seams to much of a coincidence to be a leak I think and will be asking some hard questions come tomorrows office hours....
Well theres another possibility, they could missed the mark.
good luck from England
