I had my weigh in put on 2 kilos and I am missing 1 mil of liquid from my band!!

It's either a air bubble or leak.

I find out in 2 weeks when he weighs me again..

Has anyone else had this happen to them and if so what was your outcome and should I be a little concerned?

I haven't had a problem like yours. my doctor withdraws all Fluid before he puts more in. it has always matched my files. if your band or tubing is leaking it does require surgery to repair. I don't know how invasive they have to be. I hope someone here has gone through this for you. and can answer your question

I would ask for a copy of yourrecords each time you check in with your doctor or your bariatric center. It would be interesting to see how they record this. Wishing you good health & great banding!

Don't worry prematurely as this could so easily be an error in record-keeping!

You should go on a PC and fill in your profile so we can give you a more informed answer?

You've gained 2 kilos since? You've lost 15 kilos up to this? gaining a few kilos/lbs here and there is so normal for all of us. Especially women(TOM). If you're exercising, could you be losing fat and gaining muscle?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
