Band Fill

[Cashmere1968 3]

My last two appointments I was not able to get a fill which I need....The first time I was only able to get maybe a few drops but the second time the band pushed back and wouldn't allow a fill. The weird part is my file said I have 8.5cc but they are only pulling out 5.6cc's. I had an upper GI done and there is not a kink. My band is supposed to hold 10cc's.

I am soooo confused but I am hearing that the bands are having alot of issues now. I was banded in 2010 and curious to know what is the issue. The doctor said it may have a kink but it was confirmed no kink.

Have anyone else had this issue and if so, what was your end result?

Sounds odd. My sister had an issue where the tube was disconnected from the band itself, so any fill she got was not going anywhere. She had it replaced and all is well again.

Do you still have restriction?

I don't have much of a restriction because they took some out and put some back in but according to them some Fluid is still missing. So I am really trying to do good without my working band.

I cannot wait to get the issue resolved....I need a fill asap and bad
