how do you know if you have a leak?

Yesterday I went in for a fill. I'm about 6 months out and my weight loss has been really slow the past 2-3 months. When I went in today I had GAINED 3 pounds! I am hungry all the time now.

She gave me another fill of 1 cc. Last night I bent over for something and when I stood back up I felt a little tingle at my port area. You know when you have a Water balloon or hose and it has a little tiny pin prick hole in it and you put your hand over it? It was that exact feeling. Immediately I wondered if I had a leak. I have never even thought about a leak before, the thought just popped into my head. And I remembered that after my prior fill I also felt that tingly feeling at the port site that night. We're talking 12 hours AFTER the fill. I felt it several times last night whenever I moved a certain way.

And today, starving hungry.

Has anyone else had that tingly feeling at the port site 12 + hours after the fill? It's the only 2 times I've ever felt that feeling - the night after a fill.

YOu should call your Dr. and go in for a check - they can pull out all the fluid that is in there, it should be the same amount they have put in.
