Went to the doc last Thursday after a 2 year hiatus (Didn't know it had been that long). Found out that .8cc had bled out of my band! Doc put it back in and now I feel that ole familiar restriction again. After my 48 hours of liquids Saturday for dinner we had fish. Was only able to eat one piece of fish and was full. Boy does it ever feel good to know that the band is working again. I learned a lesson and don't plan to avoid the regular checkups again.

They do say that you should see them at least once a year preferably twice even when you think you are at goal or have perfect "restriction".

what do you mean bled out of band????

maybe bled wasn't the best choice of words. the doc said over time some of the saline can leak out somehow. I'm sure I don't have a hole or anything because it's been a couple weeks and it's still the same.

Remember your school biology lessons? The ones about transpiration, osmosis, semi permeable membranes. It is a s similar kind of thing.
