I had six fills and was up to around 7 in my band with still no restriction, no stuck episodes, hunger immediately after eating, etc. Each time I would go in to the office they would give me very small amounts (.3, .6, 1). I started with 3-4 in the band at surgery. After a year and only 15 lbs lost I had basically given up and stopped going in for 6 months. I went in this month and asked for an X-ray. Sure enough, band was loose and the nurse only pulled 4 out of my band. She added a full 2 and now I finally feel like there's a difference. What could have happened? The nurse said she's not concerned about a leak... But where would the Fluid be? How could the numbers be so off? Any advice appreciated.

I had my procedure today too. Woke up with the worst chest/shoulder pain ever. I got the surgical glue as well since I'm allergic to adhesive tape. My main problem now, on top of having a cold, is dry mouth. Are you experiencing that? I can't even use the gas x strips because I have no saliva. I have a heating pad on my shoulder too. Congrats and good luck to you!
