Hello. I have just had mine repaired for the third time. I lost 30 kilos then no restriction and the needle didnt have a bounce in it. Went for surgery and had it repaired (the tubing had come away from the port). Went for a fill and same thing, another leak. Was too expensive to fix again, so left it 4 years until now. Went for a die xray to see where the leak was which was inclusive, then went for local surgery where i was opened up and did an exloratory to see if it was the port again, wasnt. So last week went in for full surgery. The surgeon found the tubing broken in two places so it was in three pieces. He repaired it and put die in to see if it was leaking anywhere else. Was not. So hopefully it is fixed. Am pretty sore, didnt have to do any pre-op diet and he only put a bit of fill in so i can eat anything, until everything settles down and i go for post op appointment then the fill will follow. Hopefully all is good. So i think i have answered ur questions. If he had to replace the whole device then the after surgery diet would have been different as the stomach would have been bruised etc. Good luck.
