Hi everyone! Thought I'd let ya'll know that I have a leak in my band, UGH!!!. I've been thinking I had a leak for over a year now. It's a slow one, but it's getting worse. I went to get a fill yesterday and I was missing 1.5cc (in a 4 week span). This explains why I am able to eat like a cow after only a week of restriction following my fills. I go back in 2 weeks to measure again and then I'll know more.

They added 2 cc's yesterday, so I am pretty tight right now. Looks like I'll be on liquids a while.

Hope everyone has a good day!

That's what happened to mine, it was just a slow leak, but it would drive me crazy because I would loose a little weight then gain it back and even extra. I had my port and tube replaced in July of this year. I have had better restriction then I ever did. I don't even remember having this kind of restriction after getting the band in the beginning. It's a real easy surgery, easier and quicker then the whole band surgery. The hard part is the months that they like to take to figure out if it's really a leak, and then of course getting approval with the insurance company to replace the leaking parts. You'll be fine, and my thoughts are with you.

Thanks confused! Your leak was in the tubing? I'm not sure where mine is. I hope the whole band doesn't have to be replaced! I just hope they can do it soon...I'm tired of this!

yesterday

b- handful of honey roasted almonds

l-taco "muffin" topped with lf sour cream and salsa

d-1/2 cup turkey chili, topped with lf sour cream, cheese and green onions

Hi all!! Im having a bit of a mental issue with my eating... I feel like while I still eat way less than I used to, and now eat more than I should but I have always sort of fealt that way since I got the band.

I eat yougurt for breakfast every morning..no matter what

for lunch its usually a chicken wrap thats 240 calories. sometimes I eat 1/2 sometimes I eat the whole thing

Then dinner is usually meat and veggies of some sorts.

I guess I don't personally know anyone who has had the band. At my last appointment I lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks so they did not do a fill. I wish they would have as I feel like my eating is out of control. Although I never snack for some reason it just feels bad. He put me out another 6 weeks and said if I lost another 7-10 lbs he would leave it. Does anyone else ever feel this way?? This was such a great chance...an opportunity to have it be different and I don't want to fail :cursing:

My leak was in the port, but they had to shorten my tube and reposition it and the new port because of other problems that I once had in the past.

Bought some salsa at costco not the one that makes mango...one that was with the coupon ....ugh.. gave it away.. we use salsa in this home..but this brand was foul... gave it to mil...she eats anything
