Hell hath no fury like a belly apron being binded. lol I purchased one of these. They run small. I struggled and struggle to get in to it. Finally got it on, stood up, and the belly rolled right over the top of it. There is no stopping the belly,,,, http://www.amazon.com/Dale-Abdominal-Binder-Stretches-30-45/dp/B001K1L4PI/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1434675882&sr=1-4&keywords=abdominal+binder+9%22 Will try out a compression garment. We do have Kolh's nearby.

I'm petite in height, so most spankx things are way too tall for me. Does anyone know if they make a low rise compression garment? I need one just for my lower apron. The more weight I lose, the lower it seems to hang. Sadly it is hanging below my girl parts. So if you have any suggestions on where online to buy an apron garment, please let me know. Thanks!

Megan, are you in my brain? I feel the same way. Tight and noraml portions in the am, with my volume of eating increasing as I get into the evening hours. I had all my fill taken out due to reflux. But am now told they need to get any remaining Fluid out ( had an upper GI that said I was too tight). Maybe I do need more solids, I dunno. This band certainly does not work the way I expected.

Still frustrated and posting on this thread again. I went back to the Dr to get a fill. My band is empty. They did an upper GI since I dont have insurance anymore. Based on the upper Gi, they want to take fill out. They already took it all out. I don't understand how I am supposed to work with this tool. I have very little restriction in the afternoon and evenings. I asked if my throat was dilating later in the day that would allow me to eat much more, and the nurse said no. If I get stuck, I can take a couple of deep breathes and the food will move thru. They act like I'm nuts. So frustrated and not sure what to do next. I have a follow up in a month, but what is the point if they say I'm too tight with nothing in? I eat too much. bummed.

Goodness, I can't spell today. I meant my band, not bank, of course! lol

My Doc doesn't believe me. My restriction varies quite a bit. When I had some fill in, in the am I was tight getting Water down. Then at the end of the day I could sometimes eat steak. My tightness always varies with my monthly cycle. Right before I start my period, my restriction gets very tight and I will get food stuck. Because of all this, I had my fill completely removed. And yes I have gained all of the 60 lb back that I lost. Does anyone else have a band that acts like this? I'm not completely blaming the band, as I am the one that makes the food choices. There are many times in the evening I wish I couldn't eat so much in one sitting.
