  1. so far no leak found!

    · tinkerband · 06/27/08 05:47 PM

    went to the fill center, did a fleuroscopy with the dye and NO LEAK! but last week i was at 5.4 and i am back to 3.1 so i have to go back to the surgeon for further tests
    but my surgeon cannot see me till august 5th! i feel a little restriction, but i am just not sure. can these things get clogged up? she pulled everything out, put in 10 of dye and then withdrew it and put the fill in to 5 again, i was used to 7, i feel ok, just tired and a little sore, but she said sometimes the ports get jacked up? who knows! i go back in 3 weeks for another fill and check and i am to call if it gets back to no restriction! wish me luck and thanks for listening
    have a great 4th!:cool2::thumbup::tt2::thumbup::laugh::w00t::cool2::cool::thumbup::smile::tongue:
