I am really bummed. have had the band for a year and just found out today i have a hole somewhere. they said it is just something that happens, but i got to thinking. the person who usually does my fill always, always has trouble getting into my port because it is in crooked. is it possible that the tube was poked with the needle?

it is possible.. what has your surgeon said?? how did they find out?:sneaky:

i havn't talk to my surgeon yet. i am going back to do testing to find out where it is... they found out becuase i was suppose to have over 9 cc in my band and i went in becuase i had NO restriction. while giving me the fill and pulling out the saline there was only 4cc in the band...

My Dr. pulls every cc out of the port and puts it right back in plus some. I figured every Dr did this. I'm sorry that this happened to you. Do they just replace the tube and Port?

How are they going to fix this? My doctor takes all the old fill out, measures it and puts it back in.
