I'm not sure if I had what you have, but in Dec. I got to the point of not able to eat hardly anything without it getting stuck and had to throw up. Not because of nauseousness but it was uncomfortable. Even applesauce would lay there for 2 hours. So I had an upper GI (barrium swallow with a radiologist) and he said I was too restricted. I hadn't had any fill adjustments for almost 2 years so it was weird that something changed in my band restrictions. So I wanted to have like 1 cc removed but no ....... they took it all out (about 6 cc), ever since that day I have been eating way too much and have gained back 12 pounds. I am very upset with the place I went to and they will only give me back tiny adjustments which are ridiculous. Take off work, drive 2 hrs and walk out with no restriction. I'm going somewhere else and hoping they will cooperate a bit more. Hope this helps. I know its uncomfortable to have food laying there but if I could do it over again I would just limit myself to protein shakes and liquids instead of back to square one and weight gain.

Insurance pays for my adjustments at a large well known medical place but they are very cautious and I haven't had great success for getting good restriction, so decided to try Fill Center and even tho they don't take insurance they are more reasonable about trying different cc amounts till your satisfied. The hardest part I've found is when you get adjusted and they stand and watch you drink water and you have to decide how its going down. Its just water. When you leave and its 5 days later and your woofing down a sub sandwich and just paid out big bucks for restriction. There should be a better way to get a good adjustment than just basing it on if you can drink water. Anybody relate to what I'm talking about?
