Thanks everyone for responding. No flouro this time. Now that's a scary thought but I don't think it's a slip but I guess you never know. I'm going to ride in out for a few days to a week and see how it goes. If it doesn't get better I will get unfilled. I guess it's back to the basic's again.....

Hello, I haven't been here for awhile. I lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off until about 1 month ago. I just noticed that I felt my restriction was almost gone. Went to the doctor for a fill and to see if I had lost any of the fill. No, I was still at 1.5cc so I got a small fill to 1.8cc. I had gained 10 pounds and was really upset. I have since lost 3 and am determined to get off the last 7 again. The problem I am having now is acid reflux. Darnit....I know how bad this can be and the only way I might be able to rid myself of it is to get unfilled but I don't want too. I just find it strange that .3cc's can make that much of a difference. I'm so bummed. I have such a fear of gaining my weight back. It's easy in the begining but later on things can change for us. I just need to get motivated again and stick to a lap band diet...which I will admit...during the holiday's I have been eating the wrong foods. Has anyone else had this happen to them. Band restriction lessening but the fill is still there and acid reflux? Anyone banded over 2 years too? I'm going to take my acid reflux meds that I've had but never have had to use and see how it goes. Watch what I eat and try to get my pouch empty when I go to bed and see. Thanks everyone. Belinda

Oops...I forgot to edit my signature profile. I fianlly reach my goal.

It took me 3 months.

I should retake pictures. After my TT I have even lost more inches. I love my band.

How ownderful. We need to do the same thing.........

Thanks everyone. It's still kinda hard to post that bikini picture. Last year at this time I was 255, just can't believe it sometimes. You guys are funny. I hate thongs on me but would love to see you guys in one anytime.....LOLOLOL

You go girl. Isn't it the best feeling in the world. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself because I can't eat some of the foods I loved so much like a big fat burrito. Having to watch my husband eat it when I can barely do a bite. I can't do breads or tortilla's very well. But then I get on the scale or try on clothes and it's all so worth it.

Left upper above my belly butten too. I can really feel it now. Right after surgery I coiuldn't even find it due to my huge stomach. Belinda
