Hi, I'm two years out and have not had good results with restriction at all in my journey. I was at 219 when I had my surgery and last March I was down to 173. Now I'm back at 204. I asked my doc to check my band cause I could eat everything and anything I wanted. I was suppose to be at 11cc in my band which is the max but when he took the saline out of my band there was only 8 so he added 1.5cc which brought me up to 9.5 and I could still eat anything and felt hungry all the time. He just saw me again on Tuesday and put another 1cc so I'm at 10.5. I was instructed to do liquids for two days, well I cheated and ate food. The food went down fine but by Thursday 3:30 am I woke up with nausea and pain at my port site and into my back. Was able to eat liquids Thursday and since then and they are staying down okay. Still having a little pain into my back. So I keep telling myself if it was a slip I couldn't eat the liquids and keep them down. Am I just feeling the restriction that I should have felt for the last 2 yrs or should I be worried? Oh and I forgot to mention this lump in my throat. But I think that's from being so nervous that I've caused a slip in my band by cheating!! Thank you for any advice you can give me.
