Having the band to tight hurts really bad. I've been there (not on purpose tho). I ended up in the emergency room one night because it was to tight, I couldn't even get hot tea down me let alone my own saliva, so someone who gets it that tight is absolutly crazy and asking for trouble. My opinion

congrats to both of you. I can't wait for my day to come

Thank you so much I've been having some difficulties lately and feel like giving up. I go days at a time without eating because food hurts my tummy so I just don't eat. I live far from my surgeon and sometimes after a fill, I go home and the band tightens more. It gets so tight that it closes my stomach, horrible feeling. I don't regret getting it at all : )

oh ok cool, I will keep up with your posts so I can see how things go. Thanks and good luck with everything

After reading your blog I'm wondering if this is what is wrong with me. I haven't had an adjustment in a year now but at times I still feel like the band has tightened itself and food gets stuck, no matter how much I chew it. How did you find out about the reflux symptoms? In other words how were you diagnosed? By who?

I'm just curious on how it goes, I'm not ready for one just yet. I'm like you collecting info : )

Hi Junior Guru, Can you keep me up to date on how everythimg goes with the TT because I am going to need one also. Dr Naim was also my surgeon and I was wondering if he was doing your TT

Hi, well it looks like I'm in the same boat as you. I had my surgery May 5,2011 and everything has been fine until my last adjustment 5 days ago. I went in on Tuesday and got 1cc but by the time I got home I could drink anything. It got worse as the night progressed so my husband called my surgeon (because the ER said they could do nothing for me due to it be a "specialty" situation), my doctor told my husband to take to his office the next day and to give my HOT TEA in the mean time (but that wouldn't go down either). I went to my doctor the next day (Wednesday) and he took out 1/2 a cc that he had put in. It was instant relief and I drank the water fine. I was fine Thursday but when Friday came along forget it... From Friday to this morning, even water is coming back on me and I've lost 11 pounds since Tuesday... So NOT healthy... I'm not sure what to do tho and it gets to be very painful...
