So I went in for me fill today. The surgeon had a really difficult time poking my port but when he finally did he found that instead of the 5cc's of saline that I am supposed to have in my port I now have 1.4. eeeeek. He added another 1cc and said I should come in again in a week. When he pulled the almost empty needle out he said oh thats not good. I cannot believe it!! He thinks he has accidentally hit the tubing while filling me last time. I will go back in a week and he will try all of this again. If I still do not have fluid than I supposed i will need to go in for further tests to see what is going on.
What really sucks is that 1. I am leaving for the UK in 2 weeks and if I am leaking I will have to go my whole vacation with an empty band. and 2. My good medical insurance is going away January 1 and there is no way he will get me in for surgery before that!!!!!
I will keep you posted on what I find out as the week progresses.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.
