Deflated Gastric band

Hi everyone. I’ve had my band for 5 years now without any issues and I’m at my ideal weight. However two days ago I suddenly can eat everything. I had a CT scan today and no issues at all with my band. Therefore, is it possible for my band to deflate!!!??? Thanks, Marina

I've heard that the band can develop leaks in port, tubing or the band itself. The only way to tell would be for you to go to your doctor and have them pull your fill to see if there's anything in there. Or you may just need a fill to attain that "sweet spot" where you are satisfied again.

Thank you that’s helpful. I had a de-fill about 18 months ago, but it’s been over a couple of years since I had a fill. Just waiting for lockdown to be lifted!
