Ok All, here is my situation, I am an old time bandster, I had mine done on September 23rd 2004 and I was successful until July of 07, I went to my primary doctor and he said I was loosing muscle mass and to get my band emptied and start eating alot of protein. So, I did and I could eat anything cause I had no restriction, well in December I went back after my Dr cleared me to get a fill. I got one and It did not feel like anything happened. NO Restriction at all, I have a 4cc band and he put 1cc in and I went back 3 weeks later and he put another .75cc and NOTHING. I have another appt on Friday and I am going to see if I can get a Berium Swallow to see what is up! I hope my band does not have a hole in it, but that is what I a thinking, I think I have a slow leak in my band. Thank God it's only water. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK!? Jennifer:crying:

Hey all, I had my surgery done on September 23rd 2004, I have an appt. with Dr Treu on Friday, I was having issues and dumping protein cause my band was to tight about 6 months ago so I had him take out ALL my fluid, BIG MISTAKE! I went from 175-220 in 6 months, I have had 2 fills and nothing is happening now, Once a Food Addict, Always a food addict. And not having carbs for 3 years my body is storing all my carbs as fat! My Highest weight was 297. I am 5'10" so I don't look soo big, but I am back to needing a nap and I never used to have to have one until I gained weight again! So, Friday is my fill and probably go for a Berium Swallow and figure this out! Jennifer

I had a slight unfil and I could actually feel the acid going back into my stomach. Try a .25cc unfil or even smaller it will make a BIG differance. Jenn

I had an overfill one time, I went in on a Friday had a fill and could not get ANYTHING, not even water to stay down, I went back on Monday morning after a weekend of AWEFUL acid reflux and no liquids all weekend and had lost 9.5lbs. So, make sure you can at least get fluids on board. Jenn
