So I been with my lapband about 3 yrs now lost a good 87 pounds. Was at 161 but not without headaches so I was getting real bad heartburn taking 2 pills a day sometimes even 3. I moved back home from Sc was there 1 yr waiting on an appointment that never came. So once back in mass November of 2015 made an appointment with my doctor. Went in on January so find out my lapband was to tight for over a year I was at 5 1/2 cc my band holds 11. To top it off when i was in Sc last 6 months I came out with Thyroid the one that gets you fat. Anyways my doctor removed all my cc so I was starving for 1 yr and I ate any ways went to 200. So we kept adjusting it for months last month we went up to 5cc and again my heartburn started.I'm at 4cc and not feeling any restrictions. I am just so discourage and depress because I am gaining not losing with 4cc. I get to go back today hope he has good news of how we can get this fixed. I don't wanna go back to 250 cause if I do I will have to take meds for diabetes and I don't want that at all. Has anyone gone through this? Sent from my SM-G530P using the BariatricPal App

I am going through same thing right now actually once I past 5cc my acid reflux starts up to but I don't think I am tight at all was with 5 1/2 for more them 6 months before my issues started. I am at 4cc and I have went from 161 to 200 pounds makes me man no restrictions. So I am going today at 3pm to see what we can do if I can get meds and go back to 5cc was working well until the acid reflux situation.

I just wrote same thing after almost 3 years lost 87 pounds was at 161 last year the acid reflex started just like yours woke up shocking and all. This year he unfilled me because he said I was to tight mind you I was at 5 1/2. Gain 30 pounds after the unfilled we tired to fill little by little got to 5cc last month and heartburn started right after I ate anything so my puked to make it better. So we went back to 4cc 3 weeks ago I have an appointment with him today at 3pm. I know I gain pounds I was 199 when unfilled then a week at 5cc was 186 now I must be back or even over 200. I am so stress out I don't wanna be at a no restriction but once I past 5cc heartburn starts again. I am wondering if I can get medication for it and stay at over 5cc.
