  1. I was banded March 2011. It has been one headache after another for me. After surgery I started having esophageal spasms and had to have the primer fluid removed. That went on for several weeks. I can only have a fill of 0.2 because I swell so easily. I am constantly getting stuck after 2-3 bites no matter what I eat and sometimes I can't even drink! I am almost at my year point where I won't be covered anymore and will have to pay out of pocket for fills @ 0.2cc! I'm so frustrated. I know some people get stuck sometimes or have an off day but I have alot more bad days than good! Is anyone else experiencing these same issues or is there something wrong with me/band? I'm so miserable and HUNGRY all the time and can't eat. This is NOT what I signed up for! Please give me your feedback!
     
    Thanks,
    Nicole
