My doctor did not tell me to be on liquids only. However, do you think that may help? He told me that the band shifted, however, not too much and it might go back into place. Do you think I should not eat any solids? Please let me know. thank you

Yes My doctor removed all my fill and the heartburn and reflux are a little better. However I cannot eat. Aren't you supposed to be able to eat if he removed all of my fill?

yes they removed all my fill. I am all open now and still cannot eat or drink. As soon as I do eat or drink I get pain in my back and I feel so full like I have to throw up. I am trying to not throw up but it is not easy. In the meantime I am not eating and am losing and losing more weight. This week I must have lost 4 lbs.

I have been banded in February 2007. I have lost 80 lbs another 20 to go. However, I am having a lot of difficulty keeping any food down. My doctor tells me that my band shifted and I might need surgery again. I have terribel heartburn and reflux. Any ideas out there? Please let me know.
