Well good luck. I have decided to have a few Mills taken out of my band. I'm struggling a liitle with the restriction. It hasn't been as easy this time around but I am getting older so it's always a struggle. I think the thing that makes us want to keep it quiet is apart from the negative people around us is the fact what if I don't lose weight? I will be judged? Just don't do as I have done and get over tight on the band. If you are to restricted you won't get any good food in and reach for the crap. Good luck x

I have had it done twice. First time very successful weight loss but it came undone. I had it done again after gaining weight but not so great this time and suffering terrible with reflux acid. People do say it's easy and a cheats way but not true at all. You can still eat a load of crap like chocolate and biscuits so you do still need willpower. Everyone is different. Good luck

Hi I'm wondering if anyone can give me advice. I've had two bands fitted over the last 10 years. First one came undone after 3.5 years. I did get to a good weight but suffered with chest pains and reflux acid. When it came undone all the symptoms stopped. After 2 years without the band and gaining a couple of stone I had it repaired. I now have 5.5 ml in a 10 ml band. I'm still 18 pounds over weight but I have stayed the same for over a year. However my acid reflux is really bad. I'm considering having all fluid taking out but the nurse who I have just spoke to says do it slowly it might just be to tight. She gets paid £100 every time so this was an answer I expected. Has anyone else come across this problem? I can't stand to be so uncomfortable especially as the weight loss this time hasnt been very successful. I do know my weight will go up though. Any advice I would be grateful!
