Flouro to check for a leak, no leak, no restriction...

I have had a rocky month. Banded since 12/21/11. Should have had a full band, however 4cc's disappeared somewhere. Two weeks ago when she only pulled out 6cc's instead of 10cc's, I was filled so tight I couldnt eat or drink. One week later got a 1cc unfill. Went Monday for a flouroscopy with contrast to check for leaks. There was no leaks but now I feel like I am back to no restriction. This is becoming very frustrating. I wonder if taking out fluid and putting it back in so much is bad for the band or stretches it out or something.

I don't think the fill and unfills affect the band. It does not stretch to my knowledge at least? Anyone else? What did the doctor say?
