  1. Thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I ended up going to the Dr. and discovered the problem was post nasal drip from my allergies. Believe it or not, it fills your pouch to where you can't eat or at least with me it did. I had a little unfill and am doing much better. I've put on a few lbs. which is okay by me as long as I feel better.
  2. I had my surgery over two years ago and have had several fills. Things have been going very well until recently. I went on vacation and actually came back having lost 8 lbs. Mostly because eating out so often limited me on what I could order. I don't do well with meats and breads. Learned to love Lobster Bisque though. :-) Since returning home I have felt a lot of restriction, to the point now even drinking Water is uncomfortable some times. Can someone explain how the band works as you lose weight? Is the pouch shrinking, thus requiring a little unfill? I don't want to start putting weight back on, but I'm uncomfortable a good part of the time. Thanks.
