The same thing happened to me...I havent lost in over 2 years because I was filled too tight and couldnt get down any food or had to spit it up...went to ER after a fill because I couldnt even get water down without the pain or tightness and at the E M the Dr. took out ALL my fill and left me totally with nothing in my band for a few days to let the site rest and then in about a week went back and the Dr. put in 3 and went back in another Month and got 3 cc ...But thru the whole ordeal and the 2 year span I was eating ice cream and anything that would go down easy...I just was so discouraged I didnt care...I felt like it was too much to do to lose weight and if I ate any solid foods like chicken I would have to spit it out... I lost 60 lbs the first year and then the fill was too much when I went for an adjustment and I just ate and spit up for the 2 years and gained back 50 lbs.... Sooooo I just went back this week and told my Dr. I wanted to start over and under floro they said my band was too tight so he took out 1cc and said I should be able to eat chicken again but measure all my food and not over 1 cup total per meal...I think I am finally filled to my correct sweet spot...I have restriction but not too much!!! I am again in my head starting over..I plan to follow the instructions for the lapband to the letter... I plan to measure all meals ...So I was like you so discouraged and I told Dr. I was trying again to start losing and get this wt. moving off my butt again LOL.... and I told the dr. if I dont show any loss I even would consider another type of surgery....SO I MEAN TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF ONE WAY OR THE OTHER....so dont give up...do like me and lets try it again.and give it our all...But I will say the lapband has disappointed me and if I had it to do over I think I would have had the laposcopic gastric bypass...called the rouny or something close to that...I wish U much luck and success in your journey to be thinner and more healthy and myself also!!! I AM GONNA DO IT THIS TIME....NO ICE CREAM EXCEPT SUGAR FREE AND ONLY 60 TO 90 CALORIES AT THAT....AND GET MY PROTEIN IN EVERY DAY...I KNOW THIS IS MY FAULT THAT IT ALL WENT WRONG BUT I DIDNT KNOW THE FILLS COULD MAKE OR BREAK MY SUCCESS IN SUCH A BIG WAY 1 cc can cause so much trouble....thats why I wished I had done a procedure that would have taken care of all of it at once and not have to adjust and adjust....just had the gastric bypass the new one that doesnt have so many complications and it be done with and let the weight fall off!! But I didnt have the bypass and now I have to make this work and I WILL...and So will You!!!!!!!
