What is floro? My first fill the doctor could get into the port and he was suprised to find my had flipped over. He said it was a little early for that. I was worried about mine leaking also.

Hi, This is my first time posting to anything like this. I was banded in Oct. 08. So far I have lost 35lbs. My doctor was Dr. Kevin Higa. I have had to fills,but could not tell you how much or even what band I have in. After reading some of your blogs, I really feel un-informed. My last fill was in Feb. and I had lost 8 lbs. that month and he really didn't want to give me another fill. Since then I have not lost any weight and I do feel restricted after eating a meal but I am finding I really want to snack which really got me to this point to begin. I am really feeling down. :sneaky: I did have a strange thing happen to me after my last fill which I haven't talked to my doctor about. About a week after my fill I woke up with a bite or what I thought was a bite on the spot where he had injected me. It itched but went away shortly after I got up. It happen again the next day, since then it hasn't happened again. This may be a stupid question but could my port have leaked? I have noticed I don't get as full as fast as I think I should, and am afraid I have either stretched my pouch or has my band slipped? Any help with my worries would be great. I go back to my doctor next month and really can afford to go back before. Thanks

I have that same worry. I don't drink any soda, but I seem to beable to eat so much and I have had two fills. I also don't seem to be losing any weight after this last fill.
