HI --Thank you for answering, I was feeling lonely and invisible. Although I must admit after losing almost 50 pounds I am not as invisible as before! :girl_hug:

Hi, I am looking for anyone else who is banded in Albuquerque. Needing a support group or a dr in town that can do fills. I was banded in Colorado Springs, but driving back and forth is getting costly.

After reading the forum, I am finally understanding the restriction feeling. I am still in pain even with liquids, so going to have a 1 cc taken out. I cannot sleep at night with out "Stuff" coming out of my nose and mouthg the minute I fall to sleep. (Gross sorry I know) So I am hoping with 1 cc out, this might prevent this nightly thing from happening. It does not matter if I have not drank anything since 5pm. It is sometimes only acid that comes up. SO hoping the 1cc out will prevent this and still give me restriction. How much does the average person with good restriction eat.

Hi all, I was banded 10/07. I received a fill of 4 cc in 01/08. I was fine for 3 months. Then all of a sudden, when ever I ate i would feel pain in my chest and it would last for a while and then go away. It then got progessivly worse. By the end of May I could not eat anything. Chewing would make me gag and I had to spit anything that had to be chewed. It got to where even Water was getting hard to take. I had the 4 ccs take out. Then was refilled with 2cc, I was fine. Then we went back to 4ccs the 1st of August. Now I am back to where drinking any amount is painful. This is just about a month after. How is it that I can be fine for a while and then it gets bad? When I do throw up it is a BUNCH of think mucos. Not food or water, but mucus. Do you think maybe my band has slipped up too high or is it something else? .
