Possible Lap band leaking!



Recommended Posts

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

complications are horrible. I pray that there is a explanation other than a leaking band. I lost a cc of Fluid but the tests were all normal, no leaking band. you are doing so well. keep up the good work even if there is a problem. it is hard. but can be done. hope all goes well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
