ok, so about 1 month ago i posted bc i didnt have enough restriction...so i went in and they filled me from 2.5 to 3...that was GREAT in the day but at night i was coughing getting heartburn...so i went back and they took .2 out and its too loose again, they are very discouraging now and dont want to further adjust it...i want .1 put back in bc i know me and i know how i feel...anyone have anything similar, and i am wondering i should go seek another doc bc i am feeling like embarrased to call the doc now

ok so i have been so back and forth with my fill situation...first i get a too tight one then not tight enought....so i have a 5cc band...i went in last week and got filled to 2.25 cc, not tight enough at all could eat anything so i went back this week to get another fill to 2.80 cc didnt wanna go to 3 b.c i was too tight at 3...but im STILL not tight enough i ate a piece of pizza tonight!!!! what the hell is goin on with me, im starting to think my doc thinks im strange,lol....should i wait a while b4 i call back to go in for a fill...i have gained weight, but i havent been on in 2 days...so i dont know if i am still gaining, but i mean i can eat a whole checken breast...thats so wrong,lol...please some advice please...if u can e mail me at ja4602@aim.com

ok so i was banded in march 2007...all has been ok..lost 85-90 lbs....soooo happy...but i havent had a fill in like 2 months..havent needed one really...well lately about last 3 weeks or so, i have had major gas pains after i eat almost anything...only way i dont ge gas is if i stick to liquids, and then i get heartburn...what do ut hink this could be? i havent had much weight loss either, but i knowpeople plateau and i need to exercise...but im terrified to have a fill due to all this gas....anyone have this

hi all..i have not had a fill in months and have been steady not really losing but notgainingeither....ok, so as of late no matter what i eat...i get terrible gas pains for about 45 min after...even liquids if its to early in the day...plus i have bad heartburn also...i feel like i spend all day taking tums and gas x...this gas will come even after i have only hada few bites of food also....do u think there is something wrong? or do u think the band may have slightly moved and i may need an unfill..my doc always says that sometimess ur band can move a tiny bit and it makes a difference in the tightness....i have a call in but i wont hear till tomorrow, but i am tired of being miserable after only a bite or 2...

at night i was getting these terrible reflux/regurgitation episodes...not sure why,im not too tight b.c i can eat during the day no real problem, was once too tight i know what that feels like...anywho...so if i eat or drink anything after 6 at night, i am up regurgitating for hours...last night i had some water at about 7, mistake, b.c i woke up chocking with fluid, which i assume is the water coming up into my mouth and out my nose!!!! i guess bc. i was choking...anyone else have this? i am so mad about this b.c next month is me and dh anniversary and wanted to go out to eat, but i cant! or else i will have a terrible night! anyone have similar stories or words of wisdom

so i had yet another fill yesterday, and i think i feel some good restirction i am at 3 or 3 1/4cc ina 5ccband...so pretty tight...anyhow i am fine during the day no trouble drinking etc...but at night oh boy the reflux is terrible, i cant even sleep!! i wake up chokin and its just horrible, but during the day its good! i dont want an infill..i take tums and gas x for my pains, but what should i do? ps- i even didnt drink or eat for a few hours b4 bed, didnt help!!!

i have been banded since march of 07 and all of a sudden have terrible gas pains every time i eat!!! what is going on? i did have a fill yesterday but i had them for a 3 days b4 that...it doesnt matter what i eat orhow much, no matter what without fail it happens, i take like 6or 7 gas x a day just to get by..but the pain is pretty bad until it goes away..it feels like the pains i had when i had my c sections..any advice or reason why this might be happening now?

i had a fill yesterday after an unfill b,c my prior fillwas too tight!,lol anyway, i am at about 2.7ish...i am ok i think, but since before my fill yesterday i have been all of a sudden sufferring from ungodly gas pains after i eat anything...doesnt matter what it is, and mind u i have never had this b4..now i have to live on gas x and dont want to eat anything in feear of getting these horrid pains..they r exactly what i experienced after my 2 c sections...it is cray, is this normall? why all of a sudden? can i take something else? i am just feeling so down on myself lately, b.c my last few fills/unfills have been a wreck and just not right, my weight loss has been halted due to that, plus i am sick and now these pains have just made me so unhappy about this who thing...help please...

so i was at 3c..which was wayyyyy too tight so they took out .25cc...i felt a worldof relief, but now i am hungry,now what?>!?! i cant have them put it back bc i was miserable and couldnt drink,...so do i just tough it out and starve,lol until i lose some more weight andthen try to go for a fill? i feel like i am not ata sweet spot at all...but iknow i cant get more in b.c of the pain i was in....help!!!!

i am at 2.75ish..was at 3 and was wayyyy too tight couldntkeepfood down...

i am just curious? is ita good idea?

i had to have a slight unfill today ..i wastoooo over filled and couldnt get down water...so now i am paranoid that i am gonna gain again...so i wanted to go on weight watchers...is this a good idea?

well, i think that this has come as a result of a possibly too tight fill,although now i can eat soft foods without pbing...so i think im gonna leave it i sure dont wanna go backwards and gain weight i am at the 70 lbmark and have been banded since march,..so i am anxious to get my last 30-40 lbs off ya know....i think i will stop drinking b4bed, even though i am sooooo thirsty!

so i have the normal heartburn,etc...but at nightalmost everynight and during the night,,, i have a regurgitation of liquid into my mouth casuing me to choke and be ripped out of sleep...any ideas of how i could avoid this, should i stop eating.drinking earlier?

so it has been a week anda half since my fill andtoday is the first day that i can honstly eat!!! is it normal totake this longfor the fill andband to relax? i am up to about 3.5 to 4 cc....does this sound normal..today i can eat mashed potatoes crackers with some cream cheese, etc...i am so happy thati can eat and drinkb.c since the fill i have barely eaten!!! now of ocurse im paranoid that something is wrong b.c i can eat,lol:biggrin::smile:
