Might just have to do that. It is driving me bonkers!

I fly every weekend and have noticed that I have been having more issues with my band being tighter. I was at my sweet spot and now I get stuck daily (for the past 2 weeks). The only thing I can relate to the problem is the flying. I know it isn't supposed to have an impact, but has anyone else experienced similar issues?

Relief!!! The PA took out the 1cc that she put in last month and I instantly felt better. Too tight indeed!

After not being able to get broth down comfortably today I called and am going in for an unfill tomorrow.

I am going to ask for .5cc to be taken out of mine as well next week. They can just take it out like they put it in.

I can eat, it is just pretty uncomfortable. I think I'll give them a call.

Doing pretty good! I was banded on 5/27 and am down 50 lbs now. I have had 2 fills (3cc total in a 10cc band) and think I need to have .5cc taken out. I'm having some struggles since about a week after my last fill. Aside from that, I am about to get back to the gym. I had to stop about 6 weeks ago because I kept breaking out into hives every time I worked out. I must be allergic

You are fortunate that they take it! I have only found 2 restaurants in Vegas that will accept it.

I had my 2nd fill 3 weeks ago. I am at 3 cc in a 10 cc band. I was fine the first week (definitely had restriction) but since week 2 I have been having a LOT of trouble with getting stuck. Basically every meal I do...even with taking very small bites. I can't even take a large drink of water without it coming back up. Isn't it unusual for it to be delayed like that? I thought I could hold out until my appt next week but everything I seem to eat/drink is uncomfortable going down.

I can't do scrambled eggs or omelets anymore. I have to have my eggs over medium. That started with my 2nd fill. I have heard of several people having the same issue.

Exactly...this isn't about speed weight loss. It is about permanent weight loss. This whole journey is about changing your lifestyle, not losing weight quickly. I am down 40 lbs in 12 weeks and while sometimes I wish it was more, I know that I am doing it the right way...not by starving myself and using hormones.

So far the only difference is I am regular as can be. Every 4th Friday like clockwork. I am hoping for the excess hair to cease and my hubby & I gave up our baby hope a year ago. We'll see what happens!

VERY inspiring!!!! Congrats and GREAT JOB!!!

Outstanding!! Congrats!
