Lost restriction

Hello All

I was banded June 2007. Have lost 108 lbs. Was doing great till I got a small fill .25cc 2 months ago. Since then I have no restriction. Went back to dr last month. He put in another 5cc. Still nothing. Think I may have a leak or has my band just stopped working. Have an appt Jan 20 for a floroscope, don't know what to expect. If I have to have the whole thing redone, so be it. I love this band, the only thing that has ever worked for me. But I am beginning to feel like I may be fat again, maybe I am doomed to be fat forever. Has anyone out there ever had this problem? Please reply I am scared to death.

Charlotte :blushing:

Hi Charlotte,

Congrats on your great success.

Since you are new here, you might want to check out the lapband complications thread. There is lots of discussion about fluro and people talking about possible leaks or slips.

Good luck and I hope you find your answers.
