I was banded in May of 06 by Doc. Spiegel in Houston. Wanted to chat with anyone who is my time fram. My band is leaking and was wanting to know if any of you guys were told that this could happen. I was not. There are telling me its bc my band is old. You would think for 1500.00 is should last more than 4 years.

Hi, I was banded in Feb 2004 in Rockville, MD. I originally lost 90lbs and have gained back 60lbs (my own fault as I have not had a fill since 2005 and I have gone back to poor eating habits). I have recently been looking for a doctor to see me and maybe give my band a fill. I don't think there is a leak as far as I know but I know my restriction is greatly diminished (probably I have stretched my stomach out and maybe some fluid has escaped the band).
