    Any old timers still around?

    I guess I would consider myself a long-timer! I was banded back in 06' Things were going well...then I fell in love and got married. I have gained some back motivation is hard to find these days. I battled with reflux, being too tight, too loose and just overall frustration! All in all..I would do it all over again. I'm still 50 pounds from goal....I'm hoping to get there someday!
  4. Anyone know of a DR. that will do fills on bands installed in mexico? I see there is a fill center in Nashville...but hate to drive all that way. Anyone?

    Pain when you eat?

    I was the same way after my last fill....a slight unfill did the trick and Im back on track.

    Already Getting Stuck?

    I cant even begin to eat bread or tortillas....Ive had the band for almost 2 years. I found it best to just stay away from it...

    Help :( overfill?

    Ok...So...I gave in and had an unfill. .3 cc The pressure and pain was just too much..and reflux SUCKS! I feel instantly better. She told me it does more harm than good to go overfilled. I did ..however...lose 8 pounds in 5 days.:rolleyes2:

    Help :( overfill?

    I went last Thursday for a fill. I was supposed to have 2.75 in my band...I didnt...so she ended up giving me .5cc. Im now at 2.6. Anyway...from the time I left till now Ive been worried that Im too tight. Ive only thrown up once...I can get Water down...but with a fight. It just sits there and gurggles. I also have been having a small amount of reflux the past 2 nights. I ate a fairly regular meal last night of a 1/2 enchilada. So if I can get some food and liquid down...am I ok??:thumbup: Is this normal. I feel like I have constant pressure in my chest..and I feel like everything is just sitting there... what should I do? I dont want an unfill because I dont want to gain weight back...but im afraid if i leave it the way it is..I might do more damage. Im so confused.
