I read on another site that they are not using the 4 cc band anymore, which is what I have. I was just wondering if it was true and if so why. I have been banded for 2 years and am now starting to have issue with it, and was wondering if maybe it was because of the size of the band. Almost everyone I know including my husband has the 10 cc band. None of whom have any problems.

I heard that they are now only doing the 10 cc Band. Does anyone know if that is true or not, and if so why? :thumbup: What size is your band?

thanks for the reply! I have been keeping up with the normal band diet. You know no breads, pasta's or really any kind of carbs. lots of protein, fish, chicken & beans! I am just worried that at 1cc I don't have any restriction, and now that is gone. I am hopping I can get a fill soon and more than 1cc so I can start losing again, I have just been maintaining for the past few months. I still want to lose 50 more pounds. It is so discouraging thinking I may not be able to have a fill without having these problems.

Hello all! I am having issues with my band and need your help. I have a 4 cc band and only had a 1cc fill. At night after falling a sleep I started to cough and vomit in my sleep. I even stop breathing altogether. (very scary) This was happening every night no matter how early or late I would eat my last meal, and even when I tried doing a liquid diet. I didn't feel like I had any restriction when eating at all. I went in for an unfill, and am doing much better now, but I am not at or anywhere near goal. Also, I don't want to gain back the 70 pounds that I have lost. Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone know why this might have happened?? I have an apt for Thursday to get scoped, but I am so worried that I may never be able to get another fill and gain my weight back...

I finally did it! I made it to onderland! what a great place to be. from 202, to 197 after a 3 month Plato! In a size 10 jeans. Could this be me???? I wish I could shrink my top size for a XL to LoL but I am so happy! If I can do this anyone can! what a great journey, what a great life!!!:thumbup:

LOL... Thanks Lizzy, for the advice. I think I'll call my doctor first thing in the morning. Good luck to you! let me know the outcome of your results.

yeah I take an acid blocker twice a day! I just don't know what else to do. I don't want then to take anything out of my band, I am 3 pounds away from wonderland!

I'm having a problem, and need advise. When I try to sleep Fluid comes up so fast that either I choke or it comes out my nose. It's like "acid" reflux, it more like Water, but I can't sleep, and it only happens when I try to sleep. I've asked my doctor and he said to wait 4 hours to go to bed after a meal. and I have. I am still having this problem, he also said that i could be too tight, but I have little restriction. Has anyone else had this problem know what I could do to stop it??? Please help!

I never thought I would ever be smaller than a size 14, but Yesterday I bought myself a pair of size 12 jeans! I found myself lost walking around the "normal" size clothing in aw... When I was in the 6th grade I remembering wearing a size 14 since then I have been in bigger sizes, up to a size 26. I am so happy I felt the need to share. Maybe some day singe digits??? do I dare dream? If I can do this anyone can! I love my band!!

I don't know what I did, but I was having trouble with my sciatic nerve as well. my right leg was tingling and my lower back hurt so bad, would just cry out when trying to stand up straight. I went to PH 2 times a week for over 2 months! I am told to stop working out all together! I did, and now i am feeling much better, and am able to workout again! It feels so good to be back at it.

I have lost the most from my Butt! I wish it would start coming off my arms and tummy, but in due time! My hubby loves my new sexy legs!
