Possible Lap band leaking!

I went for a fill today,instilled 1cc of saline today and the nurse pulled back to measure Fluid because I had 7.5cc of fluid in since Aug. 18 2014 with not much restriction, she could only get 2cc of fluid back under fluoro, she tried several times with no success, she think their might be a leak somewhere. Even though I have lost almost 25 pounds I'm devastated, don't know for sure yet, going for barium swallow on Monday, If anyone has experienced this please help, let me know what to expect, I cant have surgery again because I can't take time off from work, nor do I have the time to take, please pray for me that it's something simple.

Thanks

Tiffany
