I have thought I had this before but my dr verified that I did not. He said I had the same amount each time he checked, right before he filled me.

The last full he gave me was about 1.75 ccs. I should have had over 11ccs. I knew I didn't because I was very hungry and gaining weight.

I went to a different dr who measured only 8.5 In my band. He also told me I couldn't have a leak because I would have lost a lot or all of the Fluid if I did. He said he was sure I didn't have a leak. I'm now confused. I guess I have to wait til next month to be measured again.

Any one else experienced this??

Not me, but imo, how much is in your band is irrelevant unless it's nearly zero and it's supposed to be 11? I've seen many posts like yours where the amount of saline seems to be a moving target depending on who is sticking the syringe in the port?

What matters is, do you feel enough restriction to feel satiety for 4 hours after a meal? If it's less than 4 hours, you need another fill and another till you reach the green zone. jmo

Here's what I want to know. If they have to stick you a few times to get it right (happened to me for the first time last month) how is that not damaging something in there?
