How much does the sleeve cost, I am a self pay, I have the band but sometimes I wonder about the sleeve, I only have lost 25 lbs in 7 months

I think you should look into why you have such back reflux even at my worst I never had what you are speaking of, it can really cause damage to the esophagus be careful. It can't hurt to get a little unfill to see if it helps. Good luck.

I had a fill of 1cc in a 14 large ap band, total in band 5.5 I had to have an emergency unfill could not even swallow my own saliva, it was the worst!! I am giving myself 4 weeks to rest my tummy. I sure hope I don't get too tight again that was so horrible

thanks for your reponse I really appreciate it.

Hello all I was banded 9-3-08 I have had two fills totally 2.5, I do feel restriction with some foods, I can eat cookies, peanuts and crumbling foods in small moderation of course but what I found is that if I do eat the protein first I get a greater restriction. Does anyone have a food regiment that will help us banders get fuller faster. I have a large 14 ap band and I don't know how many cc's it will take to fill me up. I have lost only 20 lbs so hoping this last fill will help.

the large ap band holds 14 cc's I have the same one, I have not had a fill yet did it restrict you?
