Thanks for the advice. I got unfilled .2 I only had a .3 fill but I guess that was just too much. I lost 10 in 5 days. I like that part. I feel much better.

Thanks. I don't know what to do. I want the restriction since I gained 5lbs in 1 month after my last fill. However I feel horrible right now. I might try liquids again and see what happens.

I got a fill 4 days ago and I followed instructions. My doctor says 24 hours of liquids, 24 of soft foods. On the third day I had regular food and was fine. On the 4 day my band went crazy. I have great restriction, but when I lay down I get horrible reflux and i am in pain. Tonight I got sick from a bake potato! I can't go to sleep. I like the restriction but I can't handle the reflux my throat is a mess. When is it time to throw in the towel and go get unfilled? Anyone else out there with this problem?

So sorry about your denial. I know how important this process is. Don't give up. Try and stay positive and believe that if it is meant to be it will happen. Good luck with your Journey.

Congrats! Can't wait to join you there!

This is why I love this website. I was banded in June 2009 also. Weight loss has been really slow for me maybe we June folks got a bad batch of bands...lol. I did however stop getting fills and I think that was the problem I gained and losed the same 10 pounds for like the last4 months. I went to see my doctor last month and got another fill. I have lost the 10 again now I am waiting to see if I can get passed that 10. I have lost 55lbs since the surgery. I realize from this site everyone goes at their own pace. Don't give up.

I want this surgery. I don't know who is the best doctor for me. If anyone has had a good or bad( I want to know everything) expierence with a Baton Rouge Doctor let me know please. If anyone knows a doctor in the Baton Rouge area they could suggest I would greatly appreciate it. :whatchutalkingabout
