hi just a quick update on my band probs as some of you are aware 4 weeks ago i had a port replacement done under a local my surgeon thought my port was leaking as they kept drawing out 4-5mls even after putting in 10-11 mls, so he decided to replace my port thinking it was that was leaking, however yesterday i want for a fill number two after my op last week 8 mls was put in and guess what 5mls was drawn out so i have a leak somewhere else, the guestimated opinion is the band bit at the top that wraps round the top of my stomach is leaking!! I have a app on tuesday to have a xray fill to see excatly where it is leaking then on to get it repaired im guessing so am i gonna be 2 and a halfbands alison pardon the pun liz?!! To make matters worse it was the worse fill ever so much poking to find the port as i have the remainds of a haematoma left from my port replacement 4 weeks ago! i burst in to tears thinking i am a failure but i do know its my band not me but everyone expects you to of lost more weight than i have and i sure if i was them i would be thinking Fern Britton has lost all that weight why havnt you!! So if anyone is thinking of telling lots of people they are going to have a band think again as complications happen and its added pressure to loose the weight i could do without!! Dont be put off by my experiences im quite rare and it doesnt happen often i still love my band (well one that works!) and i wouldnt want to be without it!! love alison xx
