    Refilling

    Sitting at the dr now to get a fill. Had to be completely unfilled after a horrible stomach virus after Thanksgiving. Never want to vomit again! Despite phenergan and zofran couldn't keep a thing down. Anyway--have gained 5 pounds in the last month so I need a fill for sure! Wish me luck!

    It is hard to log into LBT these days

    It will get better. Praying for you that this fill will do it!

    Bread, rice and pasta

    I agree 100%. To say the band doesn't stop you from eating anything may be true for one person, but not another. I absolutely cannot eat breads or pastas or I will be stuck. Doesn't matter how well I chew or how long I eat. So you just have to see what works for you!

    Unfill first time

    I just got completely unfilled due to a terrible stomach virus and swelling. I'm scared to death about gaining. But in a couple of weeks will have an upper gi and get re-filled. Like you, I believe I was too tight prior to the virus. I plan to be very careful about how much fluid is added back. Best of luck to you!

    Will Er Know How To Take Fluid Out?

    Agreed. I am also very sensitive to fills. The smaller, the safer for me.

    Another Unfill

    About three weeks ago. Was 0.75cc. He took out 0.5 today. Puts me at 3.75. It's funny that its such a delicate balancing act!

    Another Unfill

    Am sitting at the surgeons office now to get an unfill. Have not been able to get down normal solids in several days and couldn't get down fluids yesterday. I feel weak and tired today from dehydration. how many of you have had to have multiple unfills?

    Progress

    I was! Have lost about 61 pounds. Recently had some fluid out due to reflux and just got back to a good level. I'm looking forward to losing 30-40 more pounds!

    Exercising

    I started today. Was banded march 20. I'm hoping this jump starts things as my weight loss has recently stalled. Have lost 60# so far.
  11. Sasha, I am there with you. I have lost around 60 pounds. I had 1cc removed two weeks ago due to reflux issues and have since gained 5 pounds. Little to no restriction. My head is not where it needs to be. It's like I'm good with 60 pounds and that's it. I don't want it to be it though, I have 30 more to lose at least. Thanks for posting. I'm going to have a better day tomorrow!!!!!

    Be Mindful!!!

    The scale reminded me yesterday! I've been eating like crap and its showing up. Have crept up 5# in two weeks! Ugh. My band is too loose because I had reflux. Going back in 2 weeks to have some added back, but until then--this girl is on the straight ad narrow!

    Too Tight?

    My update: doing great. Am able to eat healthy foods and no reflux at all. I can eat more quantity, but am starting to logs gain via MFP to monitor that.

    Too Tight?

    Grider: I'm at 3.5cc right now. I'm going to have to watch what I eat, but I do have some restriction.

    Too Tight?

    Seems silly but I was so relieved when he removed the Fluid that I forgot to ask why it might tighten up on its own! I had a car accident and surgery in July. Also stressed about our adoption right now. I dunno. But it was way weird!
