I had the same problem a while back.. I was too tight and my band slipped. Now I had an unfill and waiting patiently to heal to see if it moved back.. I would call your doctor to check

I hope it does. Do you know what the recovering time is for it? Is it the same as the original surgery?

Well just got back from the dr. and he took 2 cc out.. Just as I thought I had slipped just a little he said and that he will check back in a month. He said I might need revision surgery. He said I had been to tight for too long was the problem? Anyone have experience with this? I am happy with my weightloss so far this is a little scary. Just scared I may gain weight back/

I have been banded a year on the 13th !! I started at 220 and now I am at 165 ... so 55 lbs.. I think we are on the right track.. I am so much happier!!!! What were your symptoms that your band was to tight? I think mine might be a little tight.. I have an appt on tuesday of next week to see if there is a problem . I have a lot of tightness in my chest area after eating. I especially feel it when I am laying down.

I love TACOS!!!! Hard Shells and tostadas are easiest to go down .. I do not tolerate tortillas unless i can rip it apart a little by little. I just don't get soft shells anymore, I miss them but I like losing weight more !!!

thanks so much

I have had 3 fills and I have reached my sweet spot. I get things stuck especially in the morning or if I have waited to long to eat. I used to be an emotional eater and now that is not the case sometimes I feel like I forget about eating.. Life is so much better now.

Last year at this time I was 220lbs... This year I am 165lbs... I am so happy, and love the compliments I am getting from people I have not been able to see in a while!!!

Yeah well I have made it through weekend.. things are going better.. I need to chew more because I have been getting stuck.. and somethings I was eating before is out of the question. I think I will see how things go from here

I just had my 3rd fill.. it is impossible for me to eat and drink at the same time..

Yes, I was talking to my mom about that last night I am gonna give it the weekend and go from there :thumbup:

I received my 3rd fill on Tuesday and all I can say is wowsers. I hardly eat and when I do I feel full yippee.. Is this what I have been waiting for? The second day was extremely hard I kept getting stuck. I have to retrain myself again.. :thumbup:

Today I got my 3rd fill I had surgery January 13, 2010. I really have messed up the last few months eating whatever not paying attention I have maintained which the doctor said was good but I am disappointed with myself. I started this journey at 220lbs and now am at 179. Going forth I am making a promise to myself to be faithful to myself and loose 50 more lbs.

I have had my band for nine months now I have tried movie popcorn and it goes down just fine but I feel really sick afterwards.

since the band I have drank cranberry vodka... Not sure of the calories or what not but seems ok to me..

I work 2 nights a week at work, I am there till like 3 in the morning .. I am so tired I could almost fall asleep, I take a nap before work and still have this problem. I used to turn to soda before my surgery to get over this hump no I do not know what to do to get a little caffeine boost don't really care for tea or coffee any ideas? Thank you

Thanks for all your support you all have great ideas thank you so much.. :redface:

I was banded in January of 2010 and I have 2 fills. I have lost totally since the whole thing started in December is like 50 lbs I know I should be happy with that but I just want more. :redface: I am going to start over this week starting monday.

I am so depressed about my weightloss I am basically not losing just staying the same I need a totally turn around I need to get back to the basics does anyone think I should go back to the liquid diet for week? I have heard of people doing that I just need to get my butt in gear. I feel a lot of restriction in the morning but the rest of the day i am ok usually I get things stuck sometimes that really hurts .. any advice I could sure use it.

I have learned one important lesson today macaroni is not my friend nor will it ever be again. I had the worst stuck ever.

Hi tomorrow i am getting my second fill how did anyone feel after their second fill I hope this helps me I feel as if I could eat anything I know I eat less than I ever did before but still I don't think i lost much this month I guess I will find out tomorrow. I really haven't been using the scale at home just weighing at the dr.

This is the hardest thing for me it is a hard habit to break I feel once I have some more restriction it will be easier.

I got my first fill on tuesday it was pretty interesting. I haven't really had in problems with I do fill full faster and do not feel as hungry as fast.

I got my first fill on Tuesday it was a pretty amazing experience to watch my surgeon do that. I feel restriction I feel like I am eating less but I feel there is still room for more . I haven't got anything stuck yet thankfully I am sure that will be pretty scary.
