Your are the first person that I have found to have the same store. My band was to tight that's why I was getting reflux. How about you? How long have you been banded? It sounds like you are close to your goal. I was banded Feb. 18th 2009 and I am getting close to my year anniversary and have only lost 42 lbs. Being laid up for 4 months trying to find out what was wrong with me didn't help in the weight loss journey. I fell like a failure. I have lost 42 lbs before and I wasn't banded. I have started exercising and eating better. I want to do this!

Yes we can do this togerther! I was banded 2-09. I had reflux so bad it was causing me to run fever for 4 months. I didn't think the fever was because of my band, and I didn't want to go back the Dr. because I know he would unfill me. The fever was because of the reflux and I did have to get unfilled. I went though the Holidays with no fill and gained 10lbs back. I am not happy at all! I have rec'd a few fill know, and so far so good. It is like learning all over again. I want to work hard at this more then ever. We can do this together!
