Lap band leak HELP!

[shady]

Hi,

I`m quite sure i have a lap band leak all fills i had are now leaking,i emailed occ for suggestions on where and how to find omnipaque in my country, however no reply from Rene, any suggestions on where and how to find it. I have no lap band doctors in the current country of residence, a doctor does my fills under flurscopy however there is a leak, as i am losing liquid, would omnipaque fix this?

Thanks

Shady

Sorry to tell you this, Rene is no longer at the OCC, so if you directed your email straight to him, he wouldn't be answering it. Leaks in the band are very rare. From what I've learned over the years is that if you have a leak, it's most likely the port or the tube coming out of the port. And usually it was punctured during a fill, example would be the fill doctor or tech missing the port and hitting the tube. But this is all speculation, you need to email your OCC coordinator and discuss this problem with them. Omnipaque saline fluid will not fix a leak.
