I've been band since 9/21/2010. My weight lose was very slow in the beginning and I've been able to eat pretty much anything in moderation. My last fill was in 2/2011. In 4/2011 was when I had a big weight loss and continued to lose up until recently. I've been at a stand still. Right before thanksgiving my band became extremely tight I was waking up coughing every night and I was having difficulty eating. Well from Feb my band adjusted and became too tight. I recently had an infill, I was 6.8 and now back to 6.5. I asked the Dr why did it take so long to adjust like that , he said it could've been different things. Since my tight band and adjustment I have still been losing, I'm ok with that. (null)

Hello my names Christie I was banded 09/21/2010. My experience with the band has been pretty satisfying for me. I had alot of problems following pre-op and post- op diets cuz I was so hungry so I didn't follow them very well. I didn't start losing till April 2011. I am currently at 257 lbs my surgery weight was 329. So I'm happy with my results so far. My last fill was Feb 2011 in April I lost 16lbs but I had alot of personal issues that helped that weight loss after that it's been 7 s each month. I recently had a problem with my band getting extremely tight a week before Thanksgiving I was eating but I was having too much discomfort and coughing at night and my food felt like it was sitting in my throat. We'd 12/7/2011 I had .3cc's removed so I was at 6.8 and now 6.5. I dont know cause the band to adjust but I'm feeling ok and hopefully my weightloss will continue. (null)

I do warm liquid every morning. I'm a coffee drinker. Not sure what is goin on, had a barium swallow fri. It's trickling down very slow. I go back to my dr on wednesday and see what he thinks.

My last fill was in Feb 2011. Right before Thanksgiving my band became extremely tight and eating has become so uncomfortable.

My first fill was 5cc Oct 22nd. I had restriction at first but was snacking between meals. I recently received 1cc for my 2nd fill. So I am at 6cc. I am feeling a lot more restriction. I am glad to hear that there is someone else who started out aggressively.
