  3. I am writing here for the first time in the hope of getting some sort of answer from anyone who can relate. I am also trying to figure out if I am going crazy. I have had my band for a year and a half and have been doing great, was adjusting to the restrictions of not eating certain foods, smaller amounts etc...I was losing weight but very slow so I got "greedy" and wanted even more restriction. This came at a time when I was assigned a new Dr. So in late October, I got a fill in which I requested it to be "tight." And, tight it was. I could barely eat and lost 8lbs in 2 weeks and oddly, I was happy. However, stupidly, I ate something I knew I shouldn't have, and it got lodged...to the point where I could not eat or drink for 3 days. Now mind you if I could have gotten water down, I would have left it alone. So off to the Drs, they took all my fluid out stating my stomach needed 3 weeks to heal. Fast forward 3 weeks and I got a fill..felt nothing, as if I didn't get filled at all. So after 2 more fills with NOTHING I ran back again. This time, the fill killed, was very painful. However, still NO RESTRICTION. After 4 fills with nothing within 2 months, I requested to see my original surgeon. He claimed to give me 1.5 ccs and told me to watch..However, 3 days later NO RESTRICTION. I can eat everything and anything including Meat, Rice, bread, you name it. Its as if I didn't have the surgery at all. So, fed up and frustrated I am running to the Drs AGAIN. If anyone at all has experienced this or anything siliar please message me!! They make me feel like I am going crazy!
