I haven't had my first fill yet, but I am scared the same will happen to me!! I have read many posts that say that some of the saline will come out of the port. That is why we have to continue getting fills. I have also heard of a synthetic solution that is thicker than saline that some doctors use to prevent so much leakage. I have also heard that not many doctors use it because it reduces the # of fills one will have to get and it inturn doesn't make the doctor much money. Maybe it is not a good idea to test your band by taking those big bites to see what you can get down there. It would seem reasonable to think that big bites could squeeze the saline up to the port so that it leaked out? I don't know though, it is still a learning experience for me. I am glad though that we have this site where we can get nonbyist opinions from people (even if they are not doctors) to help us with our journey! Good luck hope things tighten up for you!!
