Thanks for responding! I realize it is totally what eating! Thing is I don't know what to eat & now I have an appetite regularly! I have forgotten all my band techinqies, i remember after I first got the band I could drink a shake & be fine till lunch, now it isn't like that! Now the baby is eating too & off formula! So i have to feed both of us! When I think about it I have probably been eating like I was when I was pregnant! I wish I could just go on liquids like back in the day, but now my band seems different! No matter what kinda fill I get still hungry! I Just get reflux! I had an upper g I & they said everything I was eating was sitting in my chest. & they needed to unfill it a bit! Do I don't thinks fills work for me anymore! Do fills change after a few years? Seems to be the case! I am also working out 4 x a week.. To be truthful I do bake from time to time! I'm Just outta control! What should I be eating!!

I'm 5 year bandster & my baby is a year old, didn't gain too much, didn't unfill baby is fine! I seemed to bounce back great breastfeeding stopped & now I am gaining fast! I panicked so I got a fill! Then an unfill because bad bad reflux then Another fill & an upper G I that showed I was way too tight! I've been back after a complete unfill and I have some in! Not bad reflex at night like I used to, now I'm slowly gaining! I'm so frustrated because I feel like I'm back in the old days trying diets and feeling lost! I thought those days were gone! Now I'm trying everything working out & still gaining! The doctor looks at me like a joke because I'm not like his 300lb clients, I'm 195 & slowly creeping up! I matter too! I just don't know what to do! Fills do t seem to work like they used to! I have the orginal allergen band not the new one! Suggestions please!!

Fills & reflux

How are things going with the weight gain? I have been having similiar issues. You are a few months ahead of me, just wondering how things are going?

Hi Karen, Just wanted to know how things are going? How's the baby? How's the weight coming off. I am gaining fast. I almost got some lipo right before i found out I was pregnant. I feel you about wanting to maintain your figure. Just wanted to check to see how are things?

I am almost 10 weeks and got an unfill. I had already gained 7-13 lbs. maybe more. I started freaking out having anxiety attacks about how much weight I am gaining. I am getting big fast. Before my new found pregnancy. I was 170 lbs I had lost 80lbs total 2 years post opt, and I hadnt been that small since I was a kid. I shopped all the time and love all the clothes and my size. My husband and I have been married 4 years so I guess it's time. Anyways, I am reading now and I see all these comments about how others didnt get a complete unfil. I kinda wish I didn't get it all unfilled. I was just so hungry before my unfil. I hope I can lose it all. I already finding my pants not closing. I read in the some of the books you are suppose to only be gaining 3-4 pounds in the first trimester and I still have time to go, just getting bigger and bigger. My husband is happy to have me eating regularly again. I am just terrified about getting me back!! I am eating salads and trying to get the right foods in. I don't ever know what to eat now so I guess I am eating everything. It realy doesn't seem like I am eating everything, I am eating alot more than I used to, but I am HUNGRY!! Anyone have suggestions on what I should be eating?:confused:

were you having heartburn?

I understand your pain. I had to go back several times for my first fill because they could get it.. They could feel it just couldn't get in the needle in and they poked and poked like 16 times. Once I went and they bent the needle!! It was really frustrating and painful!! I finally found someone who could find it after a few pokes. So good luck with it. hopefully it will get better as you lose. My last fill was a bit better!

Hey there!! I just got a fill yesterday. This is my 3rd fill and the 2nd one was great until I started eating more and more at night so I thought I should go in for another fill, so yesterday, I went everything was great. I know I am suppose to be on liquids, I did good today,I had grits for dinner, however, tonight I screwed up (Used to eating at night) and I have 100 calorie snack and some dorittos. I know that was the wrong thing to eat and I am getting back on track, now I have the worst heartburn. My chest and back :crying:hurts and I was spitting earlier. I have learned what I can't do with this fill thus far, I have been trying to sip water it goes down but it's like ghurglin, I just hope I don't have to get an unfill, but I am concerned now is heartburn going to a regular thing or is it just because I screwed up?? Should I get a unfill??

Hey there Mike. I am definately interested. Any evening works for me!! I am in buckhead.

My fill wasn't that success full I go back in for another try next week. Right now I am eating everything.. I hope I can kick into losing mode again. Only lost 3 lbs since 2 week follow up.

I went for my first fill last week and they had a hard time finding it and had to poke around several times. I wonder does this damage the tissues inside and eventually make it tough to access?? I know a nurse who does dialysis and she says she has to stick patients sometimes in other places because the area gets tough that they stick constantly.. Any thoughts??

I had my first fill yesterday, they didn't give me a good fill, no restriction, so I went back in today for them to get it right, they couldnt' find it! They said it was due to swelling!! I am sore. and they keep trying to find it. THIS SUCKS!! I hope they can find it next time I go back in a week!!
