Thanks for sharing that info. I went to see my doctor on Monday and he took all the saline out and made sure all the air was out and put 8 or 8 1/2 cc's back in and it is definately tight now. He did have an x-ray taken to make sure I wasn't experiancing esophageal dialation. Just had that x-ray done this morning and everything looks good. As a matter of fact the radiologist said I might need my band loosened up a little. At last it is finally tight!!!

:help:I had surgery May 22nd of this year. Since my 6 week post-op I have had 7 fills. My band is at 9cc's now and I still don't think it is as tight as it should be. I was told the band can be filled up to 10cc's...I'm afraid I will never get the restriction I am suppose to have and if I do my band will end up being completely full. I am very discouraged right now and wonder if I have made a mistake by having this procedure. What makes matters worse is I am a self pay patient. Therefore, I have paid for everything out of my own pocket. Does anyone have any suggestions or is their anyone else that has had or is having the same problem?
