Thank you! I do think there was some fluid put in the band originally, I had mine done in PA.

Hi All, I had the lap band surgery on Jan 4, 2008. Everything went great until the fourth week. I haven't had a fill yet and was due for one in a week or two. On 1/30 after lunch, I started getting a constricted feeling in my mid section where the band is. By 5 pm on 1/31 is was so bad I was doubled over and I went to the ER. They first did a CT scan to ensure the band itself hadn't moved, and it hadn't. Finally my surgeon surmised that my band had filled with fluid and he removed that fluid from the port with a syringe, the fluid was completely clear. At that point, I felt and still do feel better, with no pain or constriction feeling. I can't seem to find out, to my satisfaction, why, or how, fluid would have accumulated in my band prior to a fill! Has anyone had any similar experience that they can share with me?
