I can just soooo relate to your frustration--to make a long kind of sick story short and sweet--please get your band CLEARLY x-rayed...I returned over and over and over again to my surgeon for fills and just never felt ANY restriction. Almost 6 months after the initial surgery and my band at maximum fill, everyone in the dr. office confused and almost as frustrated as I was, my surgeon sent me to his wife, an x-ray tech, who was able to get a CLEAR pix of a totally flat overfilled band floating around inside(My band came "undone"). It was such an oddity that the PA from the office was able to negotiate a complete revision paid for by Allergan. It is rare but does happen--I am a freak incident but would suggest better to find out earlier than later when your motivation has ebbed.
