NoPBJ, First of all, hello to everyone! This is my first post and I'm sure I will be posting alot more in the future. I was banded on 1/9/09, and I have already lost 18lbs., and that is just from eating less. I have always eaten pretty healthy, I just tended to over-do it. I too do not exercise except for running around and playing with my son. I was not required to do any kind of pre-op diet by my insurance, so the weight loss started after my surgery. I have not had a fill yet; still have an empty band. I agree with some of what jeepgirl said. It does sound like you might not be chewing well enough and/or eating too fast. It sounds like you are having the same exact things happen that my friend did, and that was the culprit for her. As soon as she started counting 40 chews each bite, and taking one bite every 2 minutes, all of her problems disappeared. Have you tried that? I wish you luck and hope I don't have that problem after my first fill. My doctor said he might wait to fill my band though since I'm doing so good without anything in it :cursing:
